• The time has come, the Walrus said. Perhaps things will become worse and then better. Perhaps there’s a small god up in heaven readying herself for us. Another world is not only possible, she’s on her way. Maybe many of us won’t be here to greet her, but on a quiet day, if I listen very carefully, I can hear her breathing. ~ Arundhati Roy

   

  be grateful for whoever comes… each has been sent as a guide from beyond. ~rumi
