So they followed their wandering paths, and the darkness served as their guide, and their doubts reassured them.

Les Raisons du Cœr
The heart has its reasons that reason does not know.
Le cœur a ses raisons que la raison ne connaît point.
Blaise Pascal
Into the Unknown
We must be willing to get rid of the life we’ve planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
Joseph Campbell
Buried Truth
When truth is buried underground it grows, it chokes, it gathers such an explosive force that on the day it bursts out, it blows up everything with it.
Emile Zola
Uncertain Roads
The best roads of all
Are the ones that aren’t certain
One of those is where you’ll find me
‘Till they drop the big curtain

The Swan
This clumsy living that moves lumbering
as if in ropes through what is not done,
reminds us of the awkward way the swan walks.
And to die, which is the letting go
of the ground we stand on and cling to every day,
is like the swan, when he nervously lets himself down
into the water, which receives him gaily
and which flows joyfully under
and after him, wave after wave,
while the swan, unmoving and marvelously calm,
is pleased to be carried, each moment more fully grown,
more like a king, further and further on.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Translated by Robert Bly
