Oh friend, understand:

The body
is like the ocean
rich with hidden treasures.

Open your inmost chamber and light its lamp.

Within the body are gardens,
rare flowers, peacocks, the inner music;
within the body a lake of bliss,
on it, the white soul-swans take their joy.

Mirabai

Freedom is nothing but a chance to be better.

Albert Camus

Give thanks for unknown blessings already on their way.

Native American Saying

Therefore, my dear friend, I know of no other advice than this: Go within and scale the depths of your being from which your very life springs forth.  At its source you will find the answer to the question, whether you must write.  Accept it, however it sounds, without analyzing.  Then accept that fate; bear its burden, and its grandeur, without asking for the reward, which might possibly come from without.

Rilke
