aphorisms

We dreamers are fools who sow our seeds in the skies and plant our dreams within the earth. But we gain our desire, our longing, while you would gain fulfillment and cease dreaming.
...

Love is one soul gaining an understanding of itself through knowledge of another soul
....

The civilized are those who would call us filthy for rolling upon the bare earth while they clean themselves with perfumes and lusters
....

I once met a man who knew 24 languages but had been deafened in a war. He knew not sign language and so, was dumb
....

Joy is the fruit which blossoms from the tree of Life
Sorrow is the roots which consume bitterness to feed the tree of Life
Hope is the seed which sprouts first Sorrow that Life might take form and Joy might blossom in its finest seasons
....

He who would stand upon the plains and envy the mountains their height, is the same as he who would stand upon the summit and envy the vastness of the plains
....

He is a fool who would rename 'the procrastination of experiencing life,' 'the patience of awaiting death' and find virtue in inaction
....

Two roads diverged in the wood and I, too, took the one less traveled by. And when I fell no one was around to hear my cries
....

What frustration there is for a poet that a pen cannot scream!
...

In companionship, I discovered I can find lonliness apart from solitude; In love, I discovered that I can find solitude apart from loneliness.
...

Perhaps horses are better judges of what rivers we should drink from.

That is absolute GOLD. 💛✨ I am in love.
Since love is an understanding of oneself through the knowledge of another soul. I'm in love, dear poet.
