“We鈥檙e all seeking that special person who is right for us. But if you鈥檝e been through enough relationships, you begin to suspect there鈥檚 no right person, just different flavors of wrong. Why is this? Because you yourself are wrong in some way, and you seek out partners who are wrong in some complementary way. But it takes a lot of living to grow fully into your own wrongness. And it isn鈥檛 until you finally run up against your deepest demons, your unsolvable problems鈥攖he ones that make you truly who you are鈥攖hat we鈥檙e ready to find a lifelong mate. Only then do you finally know what you鈥檙e looking for. You鈥檙e looking for the wrong person. But not just any wrong person: it's got to be the right wrong person鈥攕omeone you lovingly gaze upon and think, 鈥淭his is the problem I want to have.鈥
I will find that special person who is wrong for me in just the right way.”

“Rushing into action, you fail.
Trying to grasp things, you lose them.
Forcing a project to completion,
you ruin what was almost ripe.
Therefore the Master takes action
by letting things take their course.
He remains as calm at the end
as at the beginning.
He has nothing,
thus has nothing to lose.
What he desires is non-desire;
what he learns is to unlearn.
He simply reminds people
of who they have always been.
He cares about nothing but the Tao.
Thus he can care for all things.”
― Tao Te Ching

“The conclusion I have reached is that, above all, dogs are witnesses. They are allowed access to our most private moments. They are there when we think we are alone. Think of what they could tell us. They sit on the laps of presidents. They see acts of love and violence, quarrels and feuds, and the secret play of children. If they could tell us everything they have seen, all of the gaps of our lives would stitch themselves together.”

“A silent breeze swept away a moment, one that never can be recaptured, never can it be relived. So it is for us to cherish the聽聽moments, cherish them with all of our might. For just as an eagle in flight, they are transient, soon vanishing like the moon as day return the light.”

“Every time I create something, whether an idea or a work of art, initially, its supposed completion seems absolutely perfect to me. However the more I think about it, stare it down, the more it marinates in my soul over the hours, days, and weeks, the more flaws I start to find in it; and finally, the more I'm pressed to continue enhancing it. It essentially turns out that whatever thing a flawed and imperfect, human eye once thought was amazing begins to appear quite wretched. This is why, eternally, God cannot be impressed by mere talents or by mortal achievements. To perfect eyes, I imagine that great is not really that great; rather, humility is ultimately a human being's true greatness.”

― A Rare Benedictine
