from Contact:
"You are an interesting species. An interesting mix. You are capable of such
beautiful dreams, and such horrible nightmares. You feel so lost, so cut off, so alone...
only you're not. See, in all our searching, the only thing we've found that makes the
emptiness bearable... is each other"
"To love means to open ourselves to the negative as well as the positive - to grief,
sorrow, and disappointment as well as to joy, fulfillment, and an intensity of
consciousness we did not know was possible before." -- Rollo May
~~of COURSE I am being invited to change... we all are. That's why it feels like something
big is happening.~~

"Way back where I come from,
we never mean to bother.
We don't like to make our passions
other peoples' concern.
And we walk in the world
of safe people
And at night we walk
into our houses and burn."
-Dar Williams

If the path be beautiful, let us not ask where it leads.

There are only two ways to live your life: One is as though nothing is a miracle, the
other is as if everything is.

In this culture it is separation that prepares a person for selfhood. It is separation
that defines us. Separation has become who we are. It is the illusion of
separation that keeps us enslaved.
- Derrick Jensen
"All the greatest things we know have come to us from neurotics. It is they
and they only who have founded religions and created great works of art. Never will the
world be conscious of how much it owes them, nor above all of what they have suffered in
order to bestow their gifts on it" Marcel Proust |
