"Just because science can explain how the wind blows through the trees and makes them dance doesn't make the dance any less magical."
-July Hummingbird, an online friend
"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye." -Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
from The Little Prince
"For those who believe, no explanation is necessary. For those who don't,
no explanation will suffice." -Rebecca, Paris, France
"To try is to risk failure. But risk must be taken because the greatest hazard of life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change, grow, live, and love." -Leo Buscaglia
from Healing Our Hearts and Lives - Inspirations for Meditation and Spiritual Growth
"In a universe as wide as daylight, immense as darkness, there are no boundaries. There are no limitations. These come only when we attempt to define what we cannot. In a universe beyond our comprehension, the potential for our spiritual growth is restricted only by the physical forms we occupy and by the way we allow ourselves to think -- but the Great Mystery, regardless, remains forever unending and eternal." -Gabriel Horn
from The Book of Ceremonies - A Native Way of Honoring and Living the Sacred
"Before progress took the place of life and civilisation gave us a good education, to which many of us in this part of the world have fallen victim; before degeneracy outlasted innocence and non-humanity took root with impunity in once-human hearts, before frivolity, the broken vision and the synthetic cult appeared; before ecocide covered the Earth and hearts were eroded, before all that, everything was magical, everything was alive and we were able to talk to the plants and play with the stars, lie back in the arms of the breeze and enjoy the succour of the rivers." -Chamalú (Luis Espinoza)
