Self

People often say that this or that person has not yet found himself. But the self is not something one finds, it is something one creates.

~Thomas Szasz, "Personal Conduct," The Second Sin, 1973

The world and I

If there were no me, my world wouldn’t exist

If my world doesn’t exist, there would be no me

Shadow of darkness

Man stands in his own shadow and wonders why it's dark.

~Zen Proverb

Beyond the Roads

The roads of the Himalayas were endless. Everything was covered in snow. All I could see were endless valleys and winding roads. But I believe, beyond the roads there had to be something waiting for me.

- Japanese adventurer Anton Hiroyoshi
