2 minutes of serenity

This video is beautiful. (via jeana sohn)

"...It was very quiet all of the time because the trees needed to focus on their lives. It is not easy to grow so much for so long. Some trees became tired and layed down on the soft ground. Others leaned and rested their tops on one another. And when one tree would have to stop, another would grow out of it and reach very high into the grey and gold sky. Growing is forever, they whispered."

a turn on loneliness

Loneliness

"We are all alone, born along, die alone, and - in spite of True Romance magazines - we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way. I do not say lonely - at least, not all the time - but essentially, and finally, alone. This is what makes your self-respect so important, and I don't see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds of others for your happiness." hunter s. thompson.
