Eyes that love the skies
The advantage of brevity is knowing that people will read what you write. The advantage of a longer piece of writing is that it acknowledges that the truth isn’t always simple.
It is a weakness of the intellectual to not be a joker, and a weakness of the joker to not be an intellectual.
A true friend is someone who provides room for whatever the next thing is you want to say.
Truth should be the main focus of our attention, and beauty will fill in the cracks.
Other people wonder what you are thinking, and you know the exact right answer.
There would be no artists if we weren’t stuck in our heads.
I need other people to be weak so that I can know I am not alone, but I need other people to be strong so that I can know that weakness will not be forever.
Find your ways to sleep, my friends, I’ll join you in the morning. A fine night of rest to you.

Wise words. I like the one about the true friend!
“There would be no artists if we weren’t stuck in our heads.”
That one really resonates with me. I’ve been thinking about the inherent loneliness of the artistic condition and lifestyle for a while now. That might become a blog of its own in the near future.
Good thoughts, all.
How do you think of things like this? I wish I thought like you. Is there any kind of technique you use to train your mind to think these thoughts? I’m being serious.
thank you for visiting & for all your well-wishes. i’m glad you enjoy the music. i discover much of my favourite music by listening to the playlists of friends & strangers.
are all the pithy phrases above your own? so true about weakness & strength. i often see that in myself…
