Masih ada banyak hal dalam hidup daripada yang terlihat oleh mat...

Mind roams more freely in empty rooms, days can spill into evening, then night without interruption

once you realise you're not obligated to persuade others about your existence, it becomes a lot easier to exist - Sloane Crosley - It wasn't something I decided upon, it happened naturally. Gradually, the emptiness of the afternoons began to fill with ideas, and the most pleasurable part of those days was when I sat down with my thoughts and formed stories, giving myself over to my imagination. I wouldn't mind if things were different, but they're not and, truly, there's nothing quite like it, we're just social animals...

Things that were right for me several years ago may no longer have any validity

Yet such an assumption quickly turns into a continuing limitation. It can be very negative and disheartening. Yet when i dig deeper, and look beyond the circumstances of the moment, the picture changes. When it seems that all hope is lost, it is not lost at all. What’s really happening is that i'm being compelled to move to a higher level. Yes, it may seem strange to be thankful for your difficulties. Yet it certainly beats the alternative, which is to let those difficulties and get the best. "Because a life free of effort is not really what i want. What i really want is for every effort to bring a meaningful sense of fulfillment" Life...

Wolves figure prominently in the mythology of nearly every Native American tribe. Wolf is considered a medicine being associated with courage, strength, loyalty, and success at hunting "The images conveyed in wolf folktales vary: in many they are depicted as ruthless and fierce; in others they have an image of nobility and loyalty.

The Lady of Shalott

The re-telling of the story of “The Lady of Shalott,” an Arthurian legend most famously captured in a Tennyson poem. The legend is about a young maiden, trapped by a magic spell in a high tower. She sees the knight Sir Lancelot passing by and she tries to take a boat to Camelot. She drowns on the way and dies. I love the verse, “The sharp knife/ Of a short life.” This captures two striking aspects of death at a young age and fragility of life. Finally, one quite moving part of this song is “Gather up your tears, keep ‘em in your pocket/ Save them for a time when you’re really gonna need them, oh.” This makes more sense in the...

Greek mythological prophet, Cassandra was a woman cursed with the gift of foretelling the future.

In ancient Greek stories, Cassandra was the daughter of Priam, the King of Troy. The god Apollo gave her the power to see what would happen in the future, but he also made sure that no one would believe her, so when she warned her father that the Greeks could use the Trojan Horse to take control of Troy, no one believed her.
