The machines do not rest, the systems rarely cool.

Nothing tormenting is ever lost, never even diminished in color or intensity or quality of sound.” – Dave Eggers

Once you find that out, not with logic, not with the intellect, but because you can feel that Life-you find out that you are the force that makes the flowers open and close, that makes the hummingbird fly from flower to flower. You find out that you are in every tree, and you are in every animal, vegetable, and rock. You are that force that moves the wind and breathes through your body. The whole universe is a living being that is moved by that force, and that is what you are. You are Life.”- Miguel Angel Ruiz
