Golden

"I felt like lying down by the side of the trail and remembering it all. The woods do that to you, they always look familiar, long lost, like the face of a long-dead relative, like an old dream, like a piece of forgotten song drifting across the water, most of all like golden eternities of past childhood or past manhood and all the living and the dying and the heartbreak that went on a million years ago and the clouds as they pass overhead seem to testify (by their own lonesome familiarity) to this feeling." — Jack Kerouac (The Dharma Bums)ツ ツ ツ * Pentax K20D DSLR and Pentax 18-55mm Lens My work is for sale via Getty Images and at Redbubble and 500px ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- © All rights reserved.

"If you do follow your bliss you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living.

Sands of Time

Sands of Time

"Sometimes fate is like a small sandstorm that keeps changing directions. You change direction but the sandstorm chases you. You turn again, but the storm adjusts. Over and over you play this out, like some ominous dance with death just before dawn. Why? Because this storm isn't something that blew in from far away, something that has nothing to do with you. This storm is you. Something inside of you. So all you can do is give in to it, step right inside the storm, closing your eyes and plugging up your ears so the sand doesn't get in, and walk through it, step by step. There's no sun there, no moon, no direction, no sense of time. Just fine white sand swirling up into the sky like pulverized bones. That's the kind of sandstorm you need to imagine." — Haruki Murakami (Kafka on the Shore) ツ ツ ツ * Pentax K20D DSLR and Pentax 18-55mm Lens My work is for sale via Getty Images and at Redbubble and 500px ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- © All rights reserved.

"Happy. Just in my swim shorts, barefooted, wild-haired, in the red fire dark, singing, swigging wine, spitting, jumping, running—that's the way to live.

Drifting Home

Drifting Home

"Don't go far off, not even for a day, because I don't know how to say it - a day is long and I will be waiting for you, as in an empty station when the trains are parked off somewhere else, asleep. Don't leave me, even for an hour, because then the little drops of anguish will all run together, the smoke that roams looking for a home will drift into me, choking my lost heart. Oh, may your silhouette never dissolve on the beach, may your eyelids never flutter into the empty distance. Don't LEAVE me for a second, my dearest, because in that moment you'll have gone so far I'll wander mazily over all the earth, asking, will you come back? Will you leave me here, dying?" — Pablo Neruda ツ ツ ツ * Pentax K20D DSLR and Pentax 18-55mm Lens My work is for sale via Getty Images and at Redbubble and 500px ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- © ALL RIGHT RESERVED © / © TUTTI I DIRITTI RISERVATI © / © TODOS LOS DERECHOS RESERVADOS © / © 保留所有权利 © / © TOUS DROITS RÉSERVÉS © Do not use my images without my permission./ Non utilizzare le mie immagini senza il mio consenso./ No usar mis imágenes sin mi permiso. / 未经我许可的情况下不要使用我的图片a ©2012- Tom Raven - Toute reproduction, même partielle INTERDITE

"Then take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind, Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves, The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach, Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow.
