Hana Hou wrote:“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

-Mark Twain

"I do not rank modesty among the virtues. To the logician, everything should be seen exactly as it is and to underestimate onesself is as much a departure from the truth as to exaggerate one's own abilities." -- Sherlock Holmes, the Greek Interpreter.

and

"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed." -- Einstein

It's a shame this has to be next to Partly's, but that's the e-playa...

Once the dust had settled again, the brilliant light of the explosion had dimmed to the already dazzling light of playa day and the winds had swept most of the pieces away to become the poems of dreamers, all that was left was a single word:

SILENCE.

Two from Melville

"And there is a Catskill eagle in some souls that can alike dive down into the blackest gorges, and soar out of them again and become invisible in the sunny spaces. And even if he for ever flies within the gorge, that gorge is in the mountains; so that even in his lowest swoop the mountain eagle is still higher than other birds upon the plain, even though they soar."

"Some days elapsed, and ice and icebergs all astern, the Pequod now went rolling through the bright Quito spring, which, at sea, almost perpetually reigns on the threshold of the eternal August of the Tropic. The warmly cool, clear, ringing, perfumed, overflowing, redundant days, were as crystal goblets of Persian sherbet, heaped up--flaked up, with rose-water snow. The starred and stately nights seemed haughty dames in jewelled velvets, nursing at home in lonely pride, the memory of their absent conquering Earls, the golden helmeted suns! For sleeping man, 'twas hard to choose between such winsome days and such seducing nights. But all the witcheries of that unwaning weather did not merely lend new spells and potencies to the outward world. Inward they turned upon the soul, especially when the still mild hours of eve came on; then, memory shot her crystals as the clear ice most forms of noiseless twilights."

If you're not living life on the edge, you're taking up too much space.
*******
All raging imbecilic grunting machismos are easily mollified by the presence of grace and intuition and the delicate arch of a graceful spine. If you're not all about what happens next then you are probably way too much about what happened before. If this is not what you expected, please alter your expectations. No such thing as random coincidence.
And what is wrong with the world that I am not, right now, naked and splayed out on something soft while being rubbed all over with slippery scented oils? - Mark Morford
*******
It seems to me now that the plain state of being human is dramatic enough for anyone; you don't need to be a heroin addict or a performance poet to experience extremity.
You just have to love someone.

The only people for me are the mad ones -- the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow Roman candles.

“We are plagued by a corrupt polity which promotes unlawful and/or immoral behavior. Public interest has no practical significance in everyday behavior among the ruling factions. The real problems of our world are not being confronted by those in power. In the guise of public service, they use whatever comes to hand for personal gain. They are insane with and for power.”

Cuidado! Son Llamas en el agua!!!!!

The llama is a quadruped which lives in
big rivers like the Amazon.
It has two ears, a heart, a forehead, and a
beak for eating honey.
But, it is provided with fins for swimming.
Llamas are larger than frogs.
Llamas are dangerous, so if you see one
where people are swimming,
you shout, " Look out! There are Llamas!"

La llama es a quadruped que vivan en los rios grandes como el Amazon.
Tiene dos oidos, un corazon, una frente, y un pico para comer la miel.
Pero, se proporciona las aletas para la natacion.
Las llamas son mas grandes que ranas.
Las llamas son peligrosas, asi que si usted
ve uno donde la gente esta nadando, usted grita,
vea llamas en lugares que hay nadando.
Dice, “cuidado son llamas mirada hacia fuera, alli es llamas!”

--"The Llama," by John Cleese
