come and walk a while with me...

“This bridge will only take you halfway there, to those mysterious lands you long to see. Through gypsy camps and swirling Arab fair, and moonlit woods where unicorns run free. So come and walk awhile with me and share the twisting trails and wonderous worlds I've known. But this bridge will only take you halfway there. The last few steps you have to take alone.” - Shel Silverstein
halftheskymovement: “War, want and concentration camps, exile from home and homeland, these have made me hate strife among men, but they have not made me lose faith in the future of mankind. … If man has been able to create the arts, the sciences and the material civilization we know in America, why should he be judged powerless to create justice, fraternity and peace?” -Ladis Kristof, father of Nicholas Kristof.  As part of #Kristofize, our surprise celebration of Nicholas Kristof’s birthday, we’re raising funds for the Ladis Kristof Memorial Fellowship for Organizing and Activism.

Everything both good and bad leaves an emptiness when it goes. If the thing was bad, the emptiness goes away by itself. If the thing was good, then emptiness only goes away by finding something better.

—Ernest Hemingway

One by one, everything alters, and all that is beautiful drifts away like the waters.

—W.B. Yeats

There are mystical countries that are a part of one’s childhood. Those we remember and visit sometimes when we are asleep and dreaming. They are as lovely at night as they were when we were children. If you ever go back to see them they are not there. But they are as fine in the night as they ever were if you have the luck to dream of them.

—Ernest Hemingway

Be not inhospitable to strangers lest they be angels in disguise.
