 It is easier to tell a story of how people wound one another than of what binds them together. Be careful of this storyteller’s tendency to replace precise separate lines with fast daubs of ink. I know how to fool your mind so that your eye accepts what it did not see. A curtain of wash is not a desert. Where ink bleeds into paper is not an act of love, and yet it is. See.
Anne Carson, from Plainwater: Essays and Poetry

 I told him it was about meaning, and he suggested, very politely, that might be a kind of psychosis.  ‘You think meaning is psychosis?’  ‘An obsession with meaning, at the expense of the ordinary shape of life, might be understood as psychosis, yes.’  ‘I do not accept that life has an ordinary shape, or that there is anything ordinary about life at all. We make it ordinary, but it is not.’  […] I said, ‘How would you define psychosis?’  He wrote on a piece of paper with his pencil:  Psychosis: out of touch with reality.  Since then, I have been trying to find out what reality is, so that I can touch it.
Jeanette Winterson, from Lighthousekeeping

marginalia, The English Patient, p. 146:
there is no spring here where i am, but i am laughing in this desert, the way flowers laugh—slow fireworks under the wet poetry of rain. March is here and i remember. i count the smallness of years. i count the grandness of moments.

“Wash every bowl, every dish as if you are bathing a baby - breathing in, feeling joy; breathing out, smiling. Every minute can be a holy, sacred minute. Where do you seek the spiritual? You seek the spiritual in every ordinary thing that you do every day. Sweeping the floor, watering the vegetables, and washing the dishes become holy and sacred if mindfulness is there. With mindfulness and concentration, everything becomes spiritual.”
— Thich Nhat Hanh, in “How to Eat”.

In a perfect society every person should have their own big truck and they should never need to leave the truck, eat in there, roll the windows down in rain to shower in there, and when youre all truckered out after a big adventure, all you need to do is cross your arms, tilt your head down, and rest!
