I would stare at the grains of light suspended in that silent space, struggling to see into my own heart. what did i want? and what did others want from me? but i could never find the answers. sometimes i would reach out and try to grasp the grains of light, but my fingers touched nothing.

More From Haruki Murakami

There is emotion in the hug, and there is respect and a form of love. emotion that comes from honesty, respect that comes from challenge, and the form of love that exists between people whose minds have touched, whose hearts have touched, whose souls have touched. our minds touched. our hearts touched. our souls touched. we separate.
Honesty Heart People
The bowed head, the buried face. she is silent, she will never speak, never forgive, never reach a hand, never leave this frozen present tense. all waits, suspended. suspended the autumn trees, the autumn sky, anonymous people. a blackbird, poor fool, sings out of season from the willows by the lake. a flight of pigeons over the houses; fragments of freedom, hazard, an anagram made flesh. and somewhere the stinging smell of burning leaves.
Autumn Smell Lakes
Greek architecture taught me that the column is where the light is not, and the space between is where the light is. it is a matter of no-light, light, no-light, light. a column and a column brings light between them. to make a column which grows out of the wall and which makes its own rhythm of no-light, light, no-light, light: that is the marvel of the artist.
Wall Artist Light
Intellectually i touched god many times as truth and emotionally i touched god as love. i touched god as goodness. i touched god as kindness. it came to me that god is a creative force, a motivating power, an over-all intelligence, an ever-present, all pervading spirit - which binds everything in the universe together and gives life to everything. that brought god close. i could not be where god is not. you are within god. god is within you.
Kindness Giving Creative
My life is routine. i wake up early in the morning. i brush my teeth. i sit on the floor of the cell i do not go to breakfast. i stare at a gray cement wall. i keep my legs crossed my back straight my eyes forward. i take deep breaths in and out, in and out, and i try not to move. i sit for as long as i can i sit until everything hurts i sit until everything stops hurting i sit until i lose myself in the gray wall i sit until my mind becomes as blank as the gray wall. i sit and i stare and i breathe. i sit and i stare. i breathe.
Hurt Morning Wall
At 13 years old, i realized i could start my own band. i could write my own song, i could record my own record. i could start my own label. i could release my own record. i could book my own shows. i could write and publish my own fanzine. i could silk-screen my own t-shirt. i could do this all myself.

Each album comes from definitely a different period in the evolution of each of us individually as creators and the role that we take in life. the external stimuli changed... so the songs are full of lots of different meanings.
