To see a world in a Grain of Sand,
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour
-William Blake

For you to be here now trillions of
drifting atoms had somehow to assemble
in an intricate and curiously obliging manner to
create you.
It’s an arrangement so specialized and particular
that it has never been tried before and will only
exist this once.
-Bill Bryson

What does it
mean to have a sacred place?
This is an absolute necessity for anyone today. You must have a
room, or a certain hour or so a day, where you don’t
know what
was in the newspapers that morning, you don’t know who your
friends are,
you don’t know what you owe anybody,
you don’t know what anybody owes you. This is a place where you can simply
experience and bring forth what you are and what you might be.
This is a
place of creative incubation.
At first you might find that nothing
happens there. But if you have a sacred place and use it,
something will eventually happen there.
- Joseph Campbell
The Power of the Myth
The purpose
of life is exploration. Adventure. Learning. Pleasure.
And another step towards home
- Emmanuel
