The Stoic

When everything else falls away look for where it is you are standing. There is always a somewhere and a something.

Can you move? Then do so. Is there a difference? Then make it. It is true: life is an empty glass; fill it or not.

Don’t listen to fools. Dismiss them even if the world bows before their tripe. Rise above and be alone if that is what it takes.

Looking for beauty is a search that has two parts. First there is fleeting beauty. Then there is the beauty of truth. The one a woman who grows old and the other a god that smiles.

An empty heart will sometimes stand still and wait. And sometimes it will search for search for something to love. It is not fickle; we are dismissive.

When you have nothing to say or to write about, listen. If what you hear is silence, enjoy it.
