A man has made at least a start on discovering the meaning of human life when he plants shade trees under which he knows full well he will never sit. ↗

Plans never go as planned, ever; that’s just how life is. People spend way too much time dreaming about a future they should be having more nightmares warning them against. But that doesn't mean you should let those bad dreams scare you away; all those nightmares want is respect. If you give them that, they’ll give you the space you need. Unless, of course, they’re the type of nightmares that have an appetite, then you’re fucked. ↗

And now life has become the future. Every moment of your life is lived for the future-you go to high school so you can go to college so you can get a good job so you can get a nice house so you can't afford to send your kids to college so they can get a good job so they can get a nice house so they can afford to send their kids to college. ↗

يا طير هجت الطائرينا ... و فتنت لب العالمينا لله درك ساحرا ... أبطلت كيد الساحرينا أظهرت معجزة العلوم... لنا و كنا كافرينا إنا لقوم يعشقون... النابغين الباسلينا يتسابقون حفاوة ... بالأقربين الأكرمينا ↗

In a painful time of my life I went often to a wooded hillside where May apples grew by the hundreds, and I thought the sourness of their fruit had a symbolism for me. Instead, I was to find both love and happiness soon thereafter. So to me [the May apple] is the mandrake, the love symbol, of the old dealers in plant restoratives. ↗
