Love must come suddenly, with great outbursts and lightnings,

a hurricane of the skies, which falls upon life, revolutionizes it,

roots up the will like a leaf, and sweeps the whole heart into the abyss.

~Gustave Flaubert

what is the next wise shift?

inquiry for today~ from the open and lonely war…..

truth within a truth

Instead of giving in to despair I chose active melancholy,

the kind of melancholy that hopes, that strives and that seeks,

in preference to the melancholy that despairs numbly and in distress.

~Vincent Van Gogh
