GOOD ART can be the stored honey of the human soul, gathered on wings of misery and travail - for there's the adamant way of scribbling "Kilroy was here" on the wall of the final and irrevocable oblivion one must someday pass over. [*William Faulkner with Theodore Dreiser]
BEING short of time is indeed a reflection of not good ideas, not
efficient enough outfit, maybe wrong priorities.

THERE are always as many nights as days in the year's course. A happy life
can't be without nightly sleep and sound rest, after all. [Cf. Carl
Jung]
Wisdom of Zen
Gautama Buddha was once sitting under a tree with his pupils
gathered around, hoping he would make a speech. Buddha calmly leaned over
and picked a flower. He lifted it to his face and turned it around
smoothly for a while.The pupils were confused. They murmured and questioned each other what was meant by that. Only one of them understood the gesture. He kept smiling. Buddha noticed that he had understood, and told him squarely: "The method of contemplation (dhyana) that I teach, is to see things as they are: Reject nothing and treat the things with happiness, seeing its original face clearly. That mysterious way of righteous deals (dharma) transcends language and the rational beginnings. The logical thought of the narrow mind cannot be used to get the understanding; only with the sensibility of the mind one is normally unaware of, one can reach truth."
