"Embrace the sweet lovely mess that is real life."

"On and on it goes; in a 1,000 directions, 

everything occurring at once, in a great storm 

of the present, of the now."

"Life was a glorious catastrophe."

"He was ready to stop trying to matter;

he was ready to simply live."

"There would be nothing obvious,

more tangible, than the present moment.

And yet, it eludes us completely.

All the sadness of life lives in that fact."
