Ourselves

Posted by PJ under becoming, destiny, quote of the day, solitude, the deep within
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“There is no insurmountable solitude. All paths lead to the same goal: to convey to others what we are. And we must pass through solitude and difficulty, isolation and silence in order to reach forth to the enchanted place where we can dance our clumsy dance and sing our sorrowful song—but in this dance or in this song there are fulfilled the most ancient rites of our conscience in the awareness of being human and of believing in a common destiny.”

—Pablo Neruda, Nobel Prize acceptance speech, December 13, 1971

Mystic

Posted by PJ under dreams and dreamtime, mysticism, myth, quote of the day, thin places, time
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“Some folks say there are places and moments where eternity breaks into time, and that is where we find the places that are sacred to us and the myths we can’t abide by. Mythology, and its sacred primordial dreamtime, can be a vehicle of religious experience, some folks say. Some folks say that the mythic past and the mystic present are equally timeless.”

Freedom

Posted by PJ under freedom, mind, quote of the day
No Comments

Random quote of the day:
