in the harmony of things

I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures. ~Lao Tzu, (604 BC – 531 BC)

within peace there is an endless amount of time

life would be beautiful even if we couldn’t see it. it would still exist. the sun would shine on the ocean and the flowers would bloom and i thought it was beautiful because it meant something but even without eyes the beauty would exist. there’s an infinite amount of things happening behind us. all we see is a tiny fraction and yet that feels overwhelming. a ladybug is red and black because i love them. no? but i get a chance to see them. i get a chance. all this happened for no other reason. why not? why not make beautiful perfect and strange things forever and ever. the earth can’t help it
