Not knowing that

autumn's begun, puppy

Buddha!

Rain

autumn rain;
for a lonely pine,
day's end.

Peace

Strange, I feel oddly at peace. A weight has been lifted after so many months. A bit sad, but I'm still here. I'm still here...

Chance

You have a chance at something good here.
Don't let fear rule your heart.

dust

year upon year—

fertilizing the cherry trees:

blossom dust

-Matsuo Basho

When you've seen beyond yourself,

Then you may find peace of mind is waiting there.

And the time will come when you see we're all one

And life flows on within you and without you.

The Lumineers - Cleopatra (Live on KEXP)

But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life.
And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time...

And now her watch is ended...

Hoy se fue nuestra bella nena Kala. Yo estuve al pendiende de ella desde el día que nos dijeron que había nacido. Cuando llegó con nostros, la cuidé y le di de comer. La vi crecer hasta convertirse en un torbellino. ¡Cuánta felicidad, y dolores de cabeza, nos dió! Viajó por todas partes con nosotros, siempre a nuestro lado. Regresé a Monterrey para cuidarla y estar con ella. Agradezco la oportunidad que tuve de poder estar con ella por última vez. También le agradezco infinitamente por las tres pequeñas joyas que nos dio, dos de ellas se quedaron con nostros: Brena y Kieran. Su legado perdurará en ellos.

Que tu bardo kármico del devenir sea breve y luminoso!
Nos vemos del otro lado!
Om mani padme hum.

Death Cab for Cutie "I Will Follow You Into The Dark" (Acoustic)

The time for sleep is now

It's nothing to cry about

'Cause we'll hold each other soon

Angus & Julia Stone - For You

If you look real closely...

The sword in the darkness

“A lord’s one thing, a king’s another. They will garb your brother Robb in silks, satins, and velvets of a hundred different colors, while you live and die in black ringmail. He will wed some beautiful princess and father sons on her. You’ll have no wife, nor will you ever hold a child of your own blood in your arms. Robb will rule, you will serve. Men will call you a crow. Him they’ll call `Your Grace’. Singers will praise every little thing he does, while your greatest deeds all go unsung. Tell me that none of this troubles you, Jon… and I’ll name you a liar, and know I have the truth of it.” 

Jon drew himself up, taut as a bowstring “And if it did trouble me, what might I do, bastard as I am?” 

“What will you do?” Mormont asked. “Bastard as you are.” 

“Be troubled,” said Jon, “and keep my vows.”
