A lot of people mistake a short memory
for a clear conscience.
Doug Larson
On August 9, 1945, Nagasaki was the target of the United States' second atomic bomb
attack at 11:02 a.m., when the north of the city was destroyed and an estimated 70,000
people were killed by the bomb. According to statistics found within Nagasaki Peace Park, the
death toll from the atomic bombing totalled 73,884, including 2,000 Korean forced workers
and eight POWs, as well as another 74,909 injured, and another several hundred thousand
diseased and dying due to fallout and other illness caused by radiation. [from Wikipedia]

Deep Listening
We spend most of our time and energy in a kind of horizontal thinking. We move along the surface of things… [but] there are times when we stop. We sit still. We lose ourselves in a pile of leaves or its memory. We listen and breezes from a whole other world begin to whisper.

Once we’ve thrown off our habitual
paths, we think all is lost; but it’s only
here that the new and the good begins.

Ultimate freedom
When you are depraved of all freedom … you still have the most important freedom of all, which no one can take away from you: that is the freedom to choose what kind of person you want to be.

The days are too short for love;
how can there ever be time for quarrelling?

Walks
How one walks through the world, the endless small adjustments of balance, is affected by the shifting weights of beautiful things.

Vision
A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral.

How To Be Alone
Lonely is a freedom that breathes easy and weightless, and lonely is healing if you make it.
