From De Rerum Virtute

I believe the first living cell

had echoes of the future in it
and felt direction
and the great animals
the deep green forest
and whale's track sea.

I believe this globed earth
not all by chance and fortune
brings forth her broods,
but feels and chooses.

And the galaxy, the firewheel on which we are pinned
the whirlwind of stars
in which our sun is one dust grain,
one electron,

this giant atom of the universe
is not blind force,
but fulfills its life, and intends its course.

- Robinson Jeffers

All shall be well.

"And all shall be well and

All manner of thing shall be well

When the tongues of flame are infolded

Into the crowned knot of fire

And the fire and the rose are one."

— T.S. Elliot

The Vesica

The Vesica is an almond-shaped opening,

a vortex formed by two inter-penetrating circles.

A sacred communion and fusion is realized between the realms of Spirit and Matter;

a living vessel or womb nurturing and birthing Creation.

The chrysalis woven within the Vesica breaks open:

a new vision of life awakens & soars.

Two luminous wings

on either side of the solar eye-diskare

a timeless symbol expressing flight & liberation.

The translucent mirror of liquid light

is gently entered

and the Ancient Face of the ages

reflects Itself

within the tranquil lake of consciousness.

Upon dissolving

the shimmering illusion of appearance,

the opening third eye - the ajna chakra - clearly sees

the One in all. Infinity.

The Flower of Life, three over lapping circles can be viewed in 3 states:

*the one in process of becoming two - separation,

*the two in process of becoming one - unification and

*the two in process of becomming three - procreation.

Eskimo Teachings

The inhabitant or soul of the universe is never seen.
Its voice alone is heard.
It is a gentle voice.
A voice so fine that even children cannot become afraid.
And what is says is "Sila ersinarsinivdluge."
"Be not afraid of the universe."

One of the very nicest things about life!

"One of the very nicest things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention to eating."
