For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.
I need solitude for my writing; not ‘like a hermit’—that wouldn’t be enough—but like a dead man.

You should look into your confusion further. You should push into it instead of closing yourself off. In that way, you just keep opening and unfolding, like flowers in the summertime. Even though they are exposed to the weather, to the wind and rain, flowers still keep unfolding themselves, until finally they bloom at their best.
Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche

But he who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in eternity’s sun rise.
