[Bowser]

“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
― Rob Siltanen

[Magical Realist]

"And the people stayed home.
And read books and listened, and rested and exercised,
and made art and played games,
and learned new ways of being and were still.
And listened more deeply.
Some meditated, some prayed, some danced.
Some met their shadows.
And the people began to think differently.

And the people healed.
And, in the absence of people living in ignorant, dangerous, mindless and heartless ways the earth began to heal.

And when the danger passed, and the people joined together again,
they grieved their losses, and made new choices,
and dreamed new images,
and created new ways to live and heal the earth fully,
as they had been healed."

– Written by Kitty O’Meara

― Jenn Granneman, The Secret Lives of Introverts: Inside Our Hidden World

One of my friends from high school recently posted on his Facebook page, "I just realized that I don't have a lifestyle".

Ok, that's funny but his response when his friend posted "how do you define lifestyle?" was even funnier. He said "Anything with style".

drunk with the great starry
void,
likeness, image of

I felt myself a pure part
of the abyss,
I wheeled with the stars,
my heart broke loose on the wind.”
