She mistrusted reality. She understood infinity. She was weeping, weeping whole seas.
César Vallejo, tr. by Robert Bly, from “At the Border of a Flowering Grave,” (via violentwavesofemotion)
I think we would me much more alive if we dared ourselves to recognize that we are not obligated to know who we are at every given moment.
Jorge Bucay, Argentine gestalt psychotherapist, psychodramatist (1949–)
original: “Creo que estaremos mucho más vivos si nos atrevemos a darnos cuenta de que no estamos necesariamente obligados a saber en todo momento quienes somos.” (via fyp-psychology)

trees dont get enough love
they’re strong mighty beings who shield you from danger
they’re delicate ethereal beings enveloped in flower blossom, emitting the sense of love
their leaves crinkle under your footsteps, their leaves brush past you as you wander through the forest
trees arent scary, they’re wise and beautiful
whisper kind words to them as you walk past
they will protect you if you protect them
“The scent of blossom, morning sweetness, heavenly felicity.”
— Nikos Kazantzakis, tr. by Carl Wildman, from “Zorba the Greek,” wr. c. 1946
