“I choose the eyes that seek out beauty and with each passing instant, lose a drop of their liveliness. Too much reasoning leads to sadness –for you lose serenity.

That same serenity returns in an attitude of mystic abandon, where the boundaries of survival seem infinite. Who would rob us of our dreams? Who would keep us from them?

Yet divine repose may be constructed and, in seconds, create the joy of living an entire life. I ran down a life at the speed of a meteor. I ran, so that no one would steal it from me, obstruct it; so that no one would realize that I lived a life with you in happiness.

I choose to live, that I may imagine serenity.”
