Travel is seeking the lost paradise. It is the supreme illusion of love.
Anais Nin
Image
I'm awaiting a lover. I have to be rent and pulled apart and live according to the demons and the imagination in me. I'm restless. Things are calling me away. My hair is being pulled by the stars again.

Dreams pass into the reality of action. From the actions stems the dream again and this interdependence produces the highest form of living.
Anais Nin
Image
Living never wore one out so much as the effort not to live.
