To be alive in this beautiful, self-organizing universe,
to participate in the dance of life with senses to perceive it,
lungs that breathe it, organs that draw nourishment from it
is a wonder beyond words.

Joanna Macy

We create transformative,
resilient new realities
by becoming transformed,

You’re traveling on a journey
through another dimension.
A dimension not only of sight and sound
but of mind.
It is a dimension as vast as space
and as timeless as infinity.
It is the middle ground
between light and shadow,
between science and superstition,
and it lies between
the pit of man’s fears
and the summit of his knowledge.
A journey into a wondrous land
whose boundaries are that of imagination.
There’s the signpost up ahead-
your next stop:
The Twilight Zone!

Rod Serling
(1924-1975, writer and philosopher)

The art of soulmaking
is taking our lives in our hands and—
with all the love and discernment we can muster—
gently whittling away the parts
that don’t resemble the True Self.

The most valuable learning is
not about memorizing facts and figures.
It is not about higher grade point averages
and accumulating degrees.
It is about life itself,
and its impact is on the heart.

It is good, every once in a while,
to let ourselves be stupefied by gratitude,
to cast upon ourselves a spell against indifference
by moving through the world with an inner bow
at every littlest thing that prevailed over the odds
of otherwise in order to exist.

Maria Popova

We are responsible
For the condition of the Earth.
We are the ones who are responsible
and we can change those conditions.
If we wake up,
it is possible to change the energy.
It is possible to change everything.
