Loneliness adds beauty to life.

“Loneliness adds beauty to life. It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better.”

--Henry Rollins

I am alive and that is the best that I can do.

Thinking of me as others may see me scares the crap out of me.

THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS

I think it used to mean

making enough

everyday

to provide for the people you love

and loving enough

so that those people

would also provide for you.

It seems like now it means

making more than you could ever need or use

and keeping as much of it as possible

because you don’t have time

everyday

to love anyone enough

for them to want to share.

--Dallas Clayton

THE RULES

Trying to explain to a child

why cavemen didn’t wear clothes in the summer

but we have to

is like admitting

that nothing we ever do

really makes any sense at all.

--Dallas Clayton

“If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, ‘thank you,’ that would suffice.”

--Meister Eckhart

“If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.”

--Albert Einstein
