strawberry fields

"Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see.

Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry Fields forever."

The Beatles - "Strawberry Fields Forever"

Shine down upon the broken.
Shine until the two become one.
Shine on forever.
Shine on benevolent son.
Shine on upon the severed.
Shine until the two become one.

sitting, waiting, wishing

Now I was sitting waiting wishing
That you believed in superstitions
Then maybe you'd see the signs
But Lord knows that this world is cruel
And I ain't the Lord, no I'm just a fool
Learning loving somebody don't make them love you

darkness

"Darkness is doubled.
Dangers succeed one after another.

Water flows and fills,
Not accumulating but running.
Pass through dangerous places;
Never lose self-confidence.

Rely on heart and mind.
The firm are the central places.
Deeds will be honored.
Going forward there is success."

I CHING - 29 Kan . Darkness

glimpse

"I cannot conceive of a God who rewards and punishes his creatures, or has a will of the kind that we experience in ourselves. Neither can I nor would I want to conceive of an individual that survives his physical death; let feeble souls, from fear or absurd egoism, cherish such thoughts. I am satisfied with the mystery of the eternity of life and with the awareness and a glimpse of the marvelous structure of the existing world, together with the devoted striving to comprehend a portion, be it ever so tiny, of the Reason that manifests itself in nature."

- Albert Einstein
