“There is no such thing as a stupid question. Many people say that, but it really is true. Every question, no matter how ill-formed or ignorant of knowledge, is a request for knowledge, a request for information. It is an effort to understand better. Every time someone asks an honest question, it is an interrogation of nature, an attempt to unlock the secrets of the universe.”
Carl Sagan
Robert Louis Stevenson, An Apology for Idlers
Michel de Montaigne, On Solitude
Live in the present. Let the memory of the past and the wind of the future grace you but do not let it dictate how you live. When we start creating strict rules for our living and militaristicaly adhere to them, we begin to lose the beauty of living in the present–we begin to fear change. we descend into stagnation.
If you are to fear, fear stagnation! For life is flow. Life is every changing.
You can not change the past,
but you can make what happened
insignificant.
Personal Poetry – Caitlin Pontrella
