��
�� Autumn
�� The leaves are falling, falling as if from far up,
�� as if orchards were dying high in space.
�� Each leaf falls as if it were motioning "no."

�� And tonight the heavy earth is falling
�� away from all other stars in the loneliness.

�� We're all falling. This hand here is falling.
�� And look at the other one. It's in them all.

�� And yet there is Someone, whose hands
�� infinitely calm, holding up all this falling.

�� Rainer Maria Rilke

Stoicism.
There's no use crying over spilled milk, unless you're stranded in a desert and that milk was your only remaining liquid, but even then, the crying may further dehydrate you and the salty tears will find their way into your mouth and exacerbate your thirst, so, on balance, it still makes sense not to cry.

It is a miracle that curiosity
survives formal education.

To Be Read in the Morning and at Night

My love
Has told me
That he needs me.

That's why
I take good care of myself
Watch out where I'm going and
Fear that any drop of rain
Might kill me.

The work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives and the dream shall never die.

Too many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity. They seem more afraid of life than death.

When neither their property nor their honor is touched, the marjority of men live content.

“How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank.
Here will we sit, and let the sounds of music
Creep in our ears; soft stillness, and the night
Become the touches of sweet harmony.”
