philosophyquotes:

“Rest, nature, books, music… such is my idea of happiness.”

— Leo Tolstoy

dandthegods:

Coming Home Again

I believe in the Gods because they are not bound away from me

They are not trapped on a secluded cloud

Nor upon thrones on a mountain top

They do not reside in some other nether place

And they do not simply watch and observe as scientists on lab rats

They are within me, my life giving heart

Just as they are in the sun

They are in the breath of my lungs

And the whistle of the breeze

They are in my bones, my muscles, my tendons

As strongly as they exist in the rocks

They race through my blood

As fiercely as they rush in a river

My thoughts are their’s

Because they are my thoughts

My actions are dedications

Because they are my motivations

My selfishness is my own

It’s my own weight to bear

But I find it less like a string of chain

But a necklace of pearl around my neck

For in the flaws, the Gods sculpted beauty

And in the damages they filled with silver and gold

And with each day I find my way home

To the ones I truly belong to
