The Estrangement of My Derangement
30 June 2014

"When life takes the very foundations from under you,
Take courage and inspiration from nature.
Divert all your energy,
not in the despair of your loss,
but in seeking a new direction,
and balance your needs on a different platform.
You can, and you will, survive and prosper.
Remember, never let go of hope,
for hope is the emotional fingertips that holds onto life
when all else has let go."

I watch at last, the renaissance of my soul."

Lost through time and space."

Adam J. West - use knowledge rightly

"Thomas Jefferson pondered accurately, “He who knows best knows how little he knows.” That humble approach to knowledge can truly go a long way in guiding our study of scripture. We can then be sure not only that we know things, and that what we know is right, but also that we understand how to use rightly what we know—to build up and edify one another and to obey God more fully in our daily lives. That is the purpose for gaining knowledge—always to share, to give, to love, to apply God’s knowledge rightly through daily living and obedience." ~Adam J.

Quotes on SIMPLICITY

"As I grew older, I realised that it was much better to insist on the genuine forms of nature, for simplicity is the greatest adornment of art." ~Albrecht Dürer

"Beauty of style and harmony and grace and good rhythm depend on simplicity — I mean the true simplicity of a rightly and nobly ordered mind and character, not that other simplicity which is only a euphemism for folly." ~Plato from THE REPUBLIC

“Bringing simplicity into our lives requires that we discover the ways in which our consumption either supports or entangles our existence.” ~Duane Elgin

"Notice the beauty within the simplicity of small moments." ~Healthy Goddess Living

"Simplicity is the need to distinguish always, every day, the essential from the superfluous." ~Semplice Abbondanza

H.P. Lovecraft Quotes

“All life is only a set of pictures in the brain, among which there is no difference betwixt those born of real things and those born of inward dreamings, and no cause to value the one above the other.” ~HP Lovecraft*

“At night, when the objective world has slunk back into its cavern and left dreamers to their own, there come inspirations and capabilities impossible at any less magical and quiet hour. No one knows whether or not he is a writer unless he has tried writing at night.” ~H.P. Lovecraft*

“Bunch together a group of people deliberately chosen for strong religious feelings, and you have a practical guarantee of dark morbidities expressed in crime, perversion, and insanity.” ~H. P. Lovecraft*

"For I have always been a seeker, a dreamer, and a ponderer on seeking and dreaming...” ~H.P. Lovecraft

“From even the greatest of horrors irony is seldom absent.” ~H.P. Lovecraft, Tales of H.P. Lovecraft*

“Never Explain Anything” ~H.P. Lovecraft*

“Now all my tales are based on the fundemental premise that common human laws and interests and emotions have no validity or significance in the vast cosmos-at-large.... To achieve the essence of real externality, whether of time or space or dimension, one must forget that such things as organic life, good and evil, love and hate, and all such local attributes of a negligible and temporary race called mankind, have any existence at all.” ~H.P. Lovecraft*

“Pleasure to me is wonder—the unexplored, the unexpected, the thing that is hidden and the changeless thing that lurks behind superficial mutability. To trace the remote in the immediate; the eternal in the ephemeral; the past in the present; the infinite in the finite; these are to me the springs of delight and beauty.” ~H.P. Lovecraft*

“The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of the infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.” ~H. P. Lovercraft, The Call of Cthulhu and Other Weird Stories*

“The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown” ~H.P. Lovecraft, Supernatural Horror in Literature*

Lorrie Kelsey Cramer - commitment

♥*✿*•♥
"Both men and women are afraid of making the wrong choice. The difference is that women will make a choice and commit, while men will string along a woman hoping for some sign and when it doesn't appear or he misses it he bails. There are exceptions, but when you make a choice you can very often find the solution for any problems that come along. THAT is committment, not shopping for a trouble free relationship." ~Lorrie Kelsey Cramer

“The instant she let go and exhaled, she felt a diminishing sensation detecting a gradual void in her interior. The void wasn’t of emptiness but a void of space, increasing and expanding slowly; in and out, back and forth, up and down stretching her inner-self like when a bubble is tenderly blown within its elements allowing the breath of being to pass expanding throughout; to the point where she sensed her heartbeat and total peace of mind.” ~A passage from my Novel, Floranova B. Msc. © 2014, Inspiration Flows Where Your Will Goes
