To think big thoughts and relish small pleasures, live life in Technicolor.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor.
Modifications are my own.
We wanderers, ever seeking the lonelier way, begin no day where we have ended another day; and no sunrise finds us where sunset left us.
Even while the earth sleeps we travel.
We are the seeds of the tenacious plant, and it is in our ripeness and our fullness of heart that we are given to the wind and are scattered.
Khalil Gibran, The Prophet
Your car is Japanese. Your beer is German. Your wine is Spanish. Your democracy is Greek. Your coffee is Columbian. Your tea is Chinese. Your watch is Swiss. Your fashion is French. Your shirt is Indian. Your shoes are Thai. Your radio is Korean. Your vodka is Russian. And then you complain your neighbor is an immigrant? Pull yourself together.
Andrew Stevens
To practice Zen or the Martial Arts, you must live intensely, wholeheartedly, without reserve - as if you might die in the next instant.
Taisen Deshimaru
Here’s to living intensely, wholeheartedly and without reserve.
I crave your mouth, your voice, your hair.
Silent and starving, I prowl through the streets.
Bread does not nourish me, dawn disrupts me, all day
I hunt for the liquid measure of your steps.
I hunger for your sleek laugh,
your hands the color of a savage harvest,
hunger for the pale stones of your fingernails,
I want to eat your skin like a whole almond.
I want to eat the sunbeam flaring in your lovely body,
the sovereign nose of your arrogant face,
I want to eat the fleeting shade of your lashes,
and I pace around hungry, sniffing the twilight,
hunting for you, for your hot heart,
Like a puma in the barrens of Quitratue.
Pablo Neruda

Wilderness is not a luxury but a necessity of the human spirit.

Thinking men cannot be ruled; ambitious men do not stagnate.

When a great adventure is offered, you don’t refuse it.
