One of Canon's favorite quotes is:""Thereâs beauty that comes out of sadness, thereâs beauty that comes out of pain. Thereâs beautiful poetry that comes out of the holocaust. Where that comes from ⦠I donât want to go too deep into that. For me personally, I have a transcendent idea of what beauty is.
The beauty and the darkness ⦠you really have to be open to it and when it starts to flow you go with it. We do find that some of the most beautiful moments come from grief or pain or inner struggle. Even in the Christian symbol of the crucifixion, Christians find that to be both beautiful and horrific and maybe for some people who arenât Christians they only see the horrific side of that."
-Marc and Andrew (Hammock)
"No, life cannot be understood flat on a page. It has to be lived; a person has to get out of his head, has to fall in love, has to memorize poems, has to jump off bridges into rivers, has to stand in an empty desert and whisper sonnets under his breath... We get one story, you and I, and one story alone. God has established the elements, the setting and the climax and resolution. It would be a crime not to venture out, wouldn't it...Expand for more
?" -Donald Miller
"And you said you'd never be them, you're just like them, you're just like them now. All the times you said you hate them, just to hurt them, you're just like them. Such a cold place that you live in, when you blame them, you're just like them. Still the stars shine down on your skin, can you see them? You're just like them now."
- Hammock- Raising Your Voice...Trying To Stop An Echo
âThe worst mistake that you can make is to think youâre alive when really youâre asleep in lifeâs waiting room.â - Waking Life
"Everything you could ever want or want to be, you already have and are." - I Heart Huckabees
"Now you know me better than I will ever know myself."
-Steven Jesse Bernstein (R.I.P.)
"Mathematicians go mad, not poets, because mathematicians try to build a bridge across the infinite, while poets swim in the sea." -GK Chesterton
"Inside my empty bottle I was constructing a lighthouse while all the others were making ships."- Charles Simic".
More about Canon:"I am a broken marionette in a ghostly hand, lifted to the eye of the Milky Way,
suspended on a pane of glass, viewed from above and beneath,
the darkness of stars penetrates my beings core. this is what I am.
a fragment of eternity bound in ephemeral existence, a single blade of grass carried on a lofty wind,
a midnight ocean pouring into lovers ears, a sunrise seduction of singularities,
bound and broken by my struggle to hold on to familiarity, chained by my fear of change,
liberated by the peace of unknowing, whispered prayers of ascension in a forgotten tongue,
playfully caressed by the sine waves of silence.".
