I encountered this Eastern Collared Lizard off the side of a winding desert road. It posed quite nicely for me.

“The Lord had commanded “Be continually engaged in enquiry”; hence, I shall engage myself in enquiry into the self. What am I who speaks, walks, stands and functions on this elaborate stage known as the world—I should find this out to begin with.”
— Vasistha’s Yoga
And ever with the tears falling down from her eyes she sighed and sang, from Stories from the Arabian Nights by Edmund Dulac (1907)

“There is no remedy for time. Or, at least, we do not know what it is. But we must trust in the flow of time, we must live. […] We are time and cannot escape its dominion. We can transfigure it but not deny it or destroy it. This is what the great artists, poets, philosophers, scientists, and certain men of action have done. Love, too, is an answer: because it is time and made of time, love is at once consciousness of death and an attempt to make of the instant an eternity. All loves are ill-starred, because all are made of time, all are the fragile bond between two temporal creatures who know they are going to die. In all loves, even the most tragic, there is an instant of happiness that it is no exaggeration to call superhuman: it is a victory over time, a glimpse of the other side, of the there that is a here, where nothing changes and everything that is, truly is.”
— Octavio Paz, from The Double Flame: Essays on Love and Eroticism (The Harvill Press, 1996)
