Who are enemies? Those who oppose each others will Picture Quote #1

To have character is to be big enough to take life on Picture Quote #1

Our works and our play. All our pleasures experienced as the pleasure of love. What could be better that? To feel in one’s work the tender and flushed substance of one’s dearest concern Picture Quote #1

We must be steady enough in ourselves, to be open and to let the winds of life blow through us, to be our breath, our inspiration Picture Quote #1

Am I willing to give up what I have in order to be what I am not yet? Am I willing to let my ideas of myself, of man be changed? Am I able to follow the spirit of love into the desert? To empty myself even of my concept of emptiness? Picture Quote #1

For since most of our living is unconscious, play is like matchstrokes in the void, bringing into light the structures we behave by, illuminating for us, however briefly, our deep meanings Picture Quote #1

We have to believe that a creative being lives within ourselves, whether we like it or not, and that we must get out of its way, for it will not give us peace until we do Picture Quote #1

And with listening, too, it seems to me, it is not the ear that hears, it is not the physical organ that performs the act of inner receptivity. It is the total person who hears. Sometimes the skin seems to be the best listener, as it prickles and thrills, say to a sound or a silence; or the fantasy, the imagination: how it bursts into inner pictures as it listens and then responds by pressing its language, its forms, into the listening clay. To be open to what we hear, to be open in what we say Picture Quote #1

Let no one be deluded that a knowledge of the path can substitute for putting one foot in front of the other Picture Quote #1

From the seed grows a root, then a sprout; from the sprout, the seedling leaves; from the leaves, the stem; around the stem, the branches; at the top, the flower... We cannot say that the seed causes the growth, nor that the soil does. We can say that the potentialities for growth lie within the seed, in mysterious life forces, which, when properly fostered, take on certain forms Picture Quote #1

There is a creative spirit in you desiring to be free, and you may as well get out of its way for it will give you no peace until you do Picture Quote #1

It helps, I think, to consider ourselves on a very long journey: the main thing is to keep to the faith, to endure, to help each other when we stumble or tire, to weep and press on Picture Quote #1

It is for each of us freely to choose whom we shall serve, and find in that obedience our freedom Picture Quote #1
