Jeanette Winterson ...

Book collecting is an obsession ...

An occupation ...

A disease ...

An addiction ...

A fascination ...

An absurdity ...

A fate ...

It is not a hobby ...

Those who do it must do it ...

Those who do not do it

Think of it as a cousin of stamp collecting ...

A sister of the trophy cabinet ...

Bastard of a sound bank account and a weak mind ...

If you stay ready ... You aint gotta get ready ...

Me and my childhood friend, and current UFC lightweight fighter, Mark Bocek ...

Bruce Lee ...

Do not be tense, just be ready ...

Not thinking, but not dreaming ...

Not being set, but being flexible ...

It is being "wholly" and quietly alive ...

Aware and alert ...

Ready for whatever may come ...

When you are with everyone but Me

You're with no one

When you are with no one but Me

You're with everyone

Instead of being so bound up WITH everyone

BE everyone

When you become that many

You're nothing

Empty

Rumi ...

This spreading radiance of a true human being has great importance ... Look carefully around you and recognize the luminosity of souls ... Sit beside those who draw you to that ...

The moment that the revolution stops ...

That means that the revolution has been betrayed ...

My love ...

Arturo "Thunder" Gatti (April 15, 1972 – July 11, 2009) ...

I miss him so much ... I begged my dad for three summers before he finally let me go to train at Arturo's gym ... Such an amazing human being ... Rest in peace my friend ...

On the eve of 29 ...

My nephew Noah (16 months) and myself ...

He came the night before my 29th birthday to bring me a cake ...

You are toooo cute ... Just stop it ...

Kashmiri Girl ...

You have to find a few spaces in your life ...

A few moments like oasis in deserts ...

Where you simply close your eyes and go beyond society ...

Move into yourself ...

Into your own womb ...

This is what meditation is ...

Simply close your eyes and forget the society ...

And become alone ...

No rules exist there ...

No character is needed ...

No morality ...

No words ...

No language ...

You can be loose and natural inside ...

Cicero ...

Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues ...

But the parent of all others ...

Tel-Aviv, Israel ... Tonight ...

Half a million protesters against the economic & political system ... In a country of 7 million inhabitants ...

Jews, Arabs, foreign workers, refugees and students marched together chanting

"The people demand social justice" ...

Joy ...

Freedom ...

The moment you can visualize being free from the things that hold you back ...You have indeed begun to set yourself free ...

Rainer Maria Rilke ...

Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart ... And try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language ... Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them ... And the point is to live everything ... Live the questions now ... Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer ...

William Shakespeare ...

Poor and content is rich, and rich enough
