"...as we let our own light shine we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear our presence automatically liberates others."

- Nelson Mandela
 
What is it to be admitted to a museum, to see a myriad of particular things, compared with being shown some star's surface, some hard matter in its home! I stand in awe of my body, this matter to which I am bound has become so strange to me. I fear not spirits, ghosts, of which I am one, — that my body might, — but I fear bodies, I tremble to meet them. What is this Titan that has possession of me? Talk of mysteries! — Think of our life in nature, — daily to be shown matter, to come in contact with it, — rocks, trees, wind on our cheeks! The solid earth! the actual world! the common sense! Contact! Contact! Who are we? where are we?
Thoreau - Ktaadn
 
"If you gaze long into an abyss the abyss will gaze back into you."

-Nietzsche



"Where the telescope ends, the microscope begins.
Which of the two has the grander view?"

-Victor Hugo
 
Most times you see the wall ; Sometimes you lean against it, on other occasions it smashes into you, and if you’re very lucky, a few times in a lifetime, you are permitted to fall into it.

The world is a mirror of you, as you are unto the world.

We are points on a map. Look closer ; you are the map.

We are light ; Solid, assembled and condensed.

Where it’s dark you can see through to the texture below ;
Where it’s light, it reflects what’s above ;
Darkness permits penetration,
but light is a glimpse at the mirror

"all the faces I used to know, theyr an illusion to me know..some are mathmaticians, some are carpenters wives, dont know how it all got started..dont know what they do with their lives"

"Cinderella she seems so easy, it takes one to know one she smiles..and puts her hands in her back pockets, Betty Davis style"

"you must leave now take what you need, what you think will last..but whatever you wish to keep you better grab it fast, yonder stands your orphan with his gun, crying like a fire in the sun..look out, the saints go marching through..and its all over now baby blue..the highway is for gamblers, better use your sense..take what you have gathered from coincidence..the empty handed painter from your streets, is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets..the sky too is folding over you, and its all over now, baby blue"

"the lover who has just walked out your door, has taken all the blankets from the floor..the carpet too is moving under you, and its all over now baby blue"

-Bob Dylan
