dive for dreams or a slogan may topple you (trees are their roots and wind is wind)
trust your heart
if the seas catch fire (and live by love though the stars walk backward)

                         TIME IS A RIVER WITHOUT BANKS:                          
      Chagall once said, “Great art picks up where nature ends.”                       
      One of his most surreal pieces is one that has affected me greatly over the years, entitled “Time is a River Without Banks.” Named with an elegant phrase written by Ovid concerning time’s indiscernible nature, the center object of the painting is a long wooden clock with a large sapphire fish adorning wings flying over it. A human hand pokes out of the mouth of the fish, and it reaches to play a violin. In the distance two lovers embrace next to a riverbank. The entire painting is bathed in a spectrum of blues, common in the painter’s work as it asserted the idea of a constant spiritual peace. 
     Albert Camus once said, “The absurd is born of this confrontation between the human need and the unreasonable silence of the world.” Chagall seemed to have had an innate ability to create a picture depicting absurdity so uncannily,

"Music is planetary fire, an irreducible which is all sufficient; it is the slate-writing of the gods, the abracadabra which the learned and the ignorant alike muff because the axle has been unhooked. Look to the bowels, to the unconsolable and ineluctable! Nothing is determined nothing is settled or solved. All this that is going on, all music, all architecture, all law, all government, all invention, all discovery—all this is velocity exercises in the dark, Czerny with a capital Zed riding a crazy white horse to a bottle of mucilage.”
Henry Miller, Tropic of Capricorn
