Beauty, is not always found in the bloom of spring buds coming to life, but also in the leaves colors coming to the forefront as they die. Still, the tree lives on. - Mine
It is told that Buddha, going out to look on life, was greatly daunted by death. "They all eat one another!" he cried, and called it evil. This process I examined, changed the verb, said, "They all feed one another," and called it good. - Charlotte Perkins Gilman
I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity. - Gilda Radner
I think, that for one to live life fully, you have to die a little. You have to let go of this belief that you're fully in charge of your life. You have to accept that there is no "win" state in life. There isn't even a "lose" state. There is just existence and the meaning you put into it. Ultimately, unless you surrender a bit, you'll always be separated from everyone and everything around you, because you aren't fully able to _be_ yourself. In the end, I may die alone, hungry, beaten down by the world, but I'll die having tried to live as full a life as I can, and that's enough. To those who have gone before and are dead in one form or another, thank you. I couldn't have done it without your guidance, as flawed as you, and I, were.
