Anais Nin

Life shrinks or expands

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.

Each friend represents a world in us

Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

Quote of the Day

The venerated Chinese teacher Lin-chi, who died in the year 866, once interrupted the silence with a shout that was said to have nearly cracked the universe.... Breaking the silence can sometimes be a shortcut to cracking open the mysteries of the universe. But for now, I'm quite content to sit here quietly. There is only the infrequent shout of a distant ocean wave to rise above the regulated whisper of my own breathing. Soon, even these sounds fade.

~ from CAUGHT IN FADING LIGHT by Gary Thorp
