2. “I must create a system
or be enslav’d by another man’s
I will not reason or compare,
my business is to create.”
William Blake

7. “A human being is part of a whole,
called by us, the ‘universe’.
He experiences himself, his thoughts, his feelings, as something
separated from the rest
– a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.
This delusion is a kind of a prison for us,
restricting us to our personal desires
and to affection of a few persons nearest us.
Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening
our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the
whole of nature in its beauty.”
Albert Einstein

16. “Dwell as nearly as possible
to the channel in which your life flows.”
Henry David Thoreau

27. “It is not the critic who counts,
not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or
where the doer of deeds could have done better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose
face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives
valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again because
there is no effort without error and shortcomings, who knows
the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause,
who at best knows in the end the high achievement of triumph and
who, at worst, if he fails while daring greatly, knows his place
shall never be with those timid and cold souls who knew neither
victory nor defeat.”
Franklin D Roosevelt

35. I do not wish you an easy life,
I do not wish you comfort,
I do not wish the wind at your back,
I do not wish the road to rise up and meet you.
I invite you to locate your Burning Point,
the push out of your very own life.
So that no matter what this crazy adventure may throw at you,
you will wholeheartedly embrace the priceless privilege
of participating in this mysterious and marvellous
dance of becoming, with both its joys and its sorrows,
for but a blink in the eye of cosmic time.
