Some of us think holding on makes us strong but sometimes it is letting go - Hermann Hesse

Solitude is independence. It had been my wish and with the years I have attained it.

That is where my dearest and brightest dreams have ranged — to hear for the duration of a heartbeat the universe and the totality of life in its mysterious, innate harmony.

The things we see are the same things that are within us. There is no reality except the one contained within us. That is why so many people live such an unreal life. They take the images outside them for reality and never allow the world within to assert itself.
