just hoping to keep the faith

two quotes from my latest read (which, on a side note, makes me want to go to tibet, more than ever) - the open road: the global journey of the 14th Dalai Lama, by Pico Iyer.

hope, as vaclav havel has said, is not the belief that everything will end happily ever after; it probably won't. it is simply the belief that something makes sense, regardless of how things turn out, and even if that sense is not apprehensible to us.

you do not heal problems just by shouting at them; you look at them and offer what you can.

stay happy, please.

circularity

if sleep was all you wanted, how can i deprive you of such basic needs?
if faith was all we needed, where then can i find it?

most of us have been poor all our lives, but we are rich in our hearts
-ha jin, the crazed.

crazy crazy world, sometimes. but this much i hope is true.
