You can wonder if a camouflaged knot is still a knot

I will never be chosen first because I am tied up

It is pretty transparent how you sit there high and dry you would almost dream of a just afterlife for a payback but also there I imagine is right the choice of a pendulum hanging from a high point

Do you know what you lost belongs to where you found it

279 Not mistrusting our feelings. -The womanly saying that we should not mistrust our feelings means nothing more than: we should eat what tastes good to us. This may even be a good everyday rule, especially for moderate natures. Different natures, however, must live according to a different principle: “you must eat not only with your mouth, but also with your head, so that your mouth’s sweet tooth does not destroy you.”

251 In parting.- Not in how one soul draws near to another, but in how it distances itself from the other, do I recognize its relation to and affinity with the other.

If you step away ever so slightly you may turn around to see what’s left of what the others already can’t see the imprint you lose if you want it to stay you have to stay

Is a memory of a long-forgotten trip to a faraway side better than a fantasy of a journey to where you want to go even if you never go

Does it matter which part of the chain you break?

I know that the clouds change more then the mountains that move underneath. But what has more permanence? Change? Or a slowly eroding mountain?

The mountains in the distance is still catching some evening sun when your day in the valley gets darker

I listened silently to what the stranger in me tries to say I only know that it moves me

For some reason it is often unclear what buttons to press for to get started but obviously easy what button to press to stop it at all

You cannot get ashore alone even though you were raised there

“Moral certainty is always a sign of cultural inferiority. The more uncivilized the man, the surer he is that he knows precisely what is right and what is wrong. All human progress, even in morals, has been the work of men who have doubted the current moral values, not of men who have whooped them up and tried to enforce them. The truly civilized man is always skeptical and tolerant, in this field as in all others. His culture is based on “I am not too sure.”
H.L. Mencken
“Faith is the surrender of the mind, it’s the surrender of reason, it’s the surrender of the only thing that makes us different from other animals. It’s our need to believe and to surrender our skepticism and our reason, our yearning to discard that and put all our trust or faith in someone or something, that is the sinister thing to me. … Out of all the virtues, all the supposed virtues, faith must be the most overrated”
Christopher Hitchens

We might all be stardust, but what we make of it is still incredible.
“The amazing thing is that every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics: You are all stardust. You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded, because the elements – the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution – weren’t created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars, and the only way they could get into your body is if those stars were kind enough to explode. So, forget Jesus. The stars died so that you could be here today.”
Lawrence M. Krauss,
