a worthy companion,
better to travel alone,
like a king who has renounced
his kingdom or an elephant
that has left the elephant grove.
*
Travel alone
rather than in the company of fools.
A solitary life is better
than a life kept in bad company.
Buddha, translated by Karma Yonten Senge

"So you mustn't be frightened, dear Mr. Kappus, if a sadness rises in front of you, larger than any you have ever seen; if an anxiety - like light and cloud-shadows, moves over your hands and everything you do. You must realize that something is happening to you, that life has not forgotten you, that it holds you in the palm of its hand and will not let you fall."
- Rainer Maria Rilke
