عندما تريدون الرحيل، إرحلوا .. لكنّ لا تعودوا أبدًا، كونوا للرحيل أوفياء .. لعلَّنا نكونُ أيضًا لنسيانكم مخلصين .

Keep close to Nature's heart … and break clear away, once in a while, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.

En algún punto, cuando puedes, tienes que irte de casa. Siempre puedes regresar pero debes irte, al menos, una vez. Tu cerebro entra en una zona de confort cuando se acostumbra a tu entorno.

Pass through this brief patch of time in harmony with nature, and come to your final resting place gracefully, just as a ripened olive might drop, praising the earth that nourished it and grateful to the tree that gave it growth.

هذه هي الحياة: أنك تتنازل عن متعك الواحدة بعد الأخرى حتى لا يبقي منها شيء وعندئذ تعلم أنه قد حان وقت الرحيل.

كيف يمكن أن يغادر هذا العالمَ جزءٌ من هذا العالم؟
كيف يمكن أن يترك البللُ المياه؟
ما يجرحك، يباركك…
الظلام شمعتك.
حدودك مسعاك.
يمكنني شرح ذلك، لكنْ قد ينكسرُ
الزجاجُ الذي يغطِّي قلبك
ولا شئء يُصلح ذلك.
هل تكفي هذه الكلمات
أو عليَّ أن أعصرَ منها أكثر؟

I don't know what you should do. I know what processes you should adopt in order to maximize the likelihood of you making it through this. That you should be calm. That you should befriend your neighbors. Develop close relations with the people around you. [...] Familiarize yourself with the laws of your local environment. Honest to God? Familiarize yourself with the parts of it you don't like as much. [...] Get out of your bubble. Be calm. Walk the neighborhood.

Knowing when to leave is IMPORTANT!

The passage is free for those who think you are not good enough for them: at your level, I think the best option is to sit back, relax and listen to a cool music, while watching them pack out of your life, and that's when you feel the intense release from the pit of hell.

The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quite alone with the heavens, nature and God.

Believe me, a highly strung brain such as yours demands occasional relaxation from the strain of domestic surroundings. Forget for a little while that children want music lessons, and boots, and bicycles, with tincture of rhubarb three times a day; forget there are such things in life as cooks, and house decorators, and next-door dogs, and butchers’ bills. Go away to some green corner of the earth, where all is new and strange to you, where your over-wrought mind will gather peace and fresh ideas. Go away for a space and give me time to miss you, and to reflect upon your goodness and virtue, which, continually present with me, I may, human-like, be apt to forget, as one, through use, grows indifferent to the blessing of the sun and the beauty of the moon. Go away, and come back refreshed in mind and body, a brighter, better man — if that be possible — than when you went away.

إن أحداً منا ليس من القوة بحيث يسعه أن يقاوم ما ليس منه بد ، عليك أن تختار أحد الشيئين : فإما أن تنحني حتى تمر العاصفة بسلام ، وإما أن تتصدى لها معرضاً بذلك نفسك للهلاك .

The principal safeguard is seclusion, that you should not, God forbid, leave the house, save for some exceedingly great need. ... And even in the synagogue you should be very short and leave quickly. It is better to pray at home, for in the synagogue it is impossible to be saved from envy, and from hearing vain talk and gossip, and one is punished for this.

Every now and then go away and have a little relaxation. To remain constantly at work will diminish your judgment. Go some distance away, because work will be in perspective and a lack of harmony is more readily seen.
