Cuando estamos ante una perdida, 
no vale de nada recuperar lo que ya se ha ido, 
es mejor aprovechar el gran espacio abierto, 
y rellenarlo con algo nuevo.

graffiti + green is good:

Eco-Graffiti!

One climbs, one sees.  One descends, one sees no longer.  But one has seen.  There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. 
– Rene Dumal

To be a person of heart, governed chiefly by logic, is an unceasing battle.

HOPE should produce a current joy, not just the dim acknowledgment of a possible future one.

Simplicity's Line

Simplifying is a good thing. If it's possible, it's usually good. Why do with more when you could do with less? The less clutter the more you can see, and this applies to numerous settings.  But I wonder- where is the line with simplification?  Chosen minimalism often implies a gratitude and respect for resources, and for that it is admirable. But sometimes, the frivolous extras are the spice of life! Sometimes, the superfluities are what show our unique personality and style that exceeds mere practicality or functionality.

In the cleansing process of simplification- whether it be in our homes, our clothes, our minds or our obligations- At what point are we ridding ourselves of the details that actually color our world? When does simplification move from being a healthy reduction of clutter, to the stripping of expression?

Dust

How do things become dusty so suddenly? Not just the books in the corner of my room, but also the goals and ideas in the corner of my mind. Ideas are either whirlwinds of opulent inspiration, or fabulous dust-collectors.
