mixed with joy

“ Find meaning. Distinguish melancholy from sadness. Go out for a walk. It doesn’t have to be a romantic walk in the park, spring at its most spectacular moment, flowers and smells and outstanding poetical imagery smoothly transferring you into another world. It doesn’t have to be a walk during which you’ll have multiple life epiphanies and discover meanings no other brain ever managed to encounter. Do not be afraid of spending quality time by yourself. Find meaning or don’t find meaning but “steal” some time and give it freely and exclusively to your own self. Opt for privacy and solitude. That doesn’t make you antisocial or cause you to reject the rest of the world. But you need to breathe. And you need to be. Albert Camus, from “Notebooks, 1951-1959” (via mirroir)

Cayote

Cayote is a mythical figure in numerous Native American cultures. He is often credited with the creation of man (often from objects found in the natural world such as clay or sticks) and the shaping of landscapes. Cayote is a powerful figure, and in many stories a trickster. According to many traditions he is a shapeshifter, and can appear as a young man as well as an anthropomorphic being with cayote features.
