Who has seen the wind? Neither you nor I but when the trees

Summary

This quote highlights the unseen nature of wind and emphasizes that its presence can only be observed through its effects. It suggests that although we cannot directly see or touch the wind, we can perceive its existence by the movement of surrounding objects. By drawing attention to the way trees sway and bow when the wind passes through, the quote reminds us that there are phenomena in the world that may elude our direct perception but can still be understood and recognized indirectly through their impact on the environment.

I lay on the bowsprit, with the water foaming into spume under me, the masts with every sail white in the moonlight towering above me. I became drunk with the beauty and singing rhythm of it, and for a moment lost myself- actually lost my life.

The spirit of creativity like a stream flowing in a man and watering a dry land of his or her soul, refreshing it and awakening up new forces
