...courage..

[papilleau]

Nothing is lost; be still; the universe is honest.
Time, like the sea, gives all back in the end,
But only in its own way, on its own conditions:
Empires as grains of sand, force as coal,
Mountains as pebbles. Be still, be still, I say;
You were never the water, only a wave;
Not substance, but a form substance assumed.

in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.

[papilleau]

It does sort of have that cadence, doesn't it?

[opheliadances]

That's beautiful

[papilleau]

It is, isn't it? It reminds of this one by Rumi:

I died as a mineral and became a plant,
I died as plant and rose to animal,
I died as animal and I was Man.
Why should I fear? When was I less by dying?
