He who would travel happily, must travel light.
~ Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Silence is both the agony and solace of frontier people.
A desert solitaire must resist much and obey little.
We are in the wilderness to make love to it, to appreciate it.
The journey is the destination.
In our trying to do it all, are we changed by any of it?
If we lose something, we have been set free from care.
~ Abba Euprepius
It is okay to simply be a witness - not to be the star in the universe.
Knowledge is the servant of wonder.
Mistakes are the portals of discovery.
~ James Joyce
Criticism eats into the soul like acid.
Criticism invariably shuts us down.
We may still love what we cannot comprehend.
This is the mystery and power of those beings who serve something other than their own provisional personalities: we cannot escape them.
It is essential to remind one's self that it is always the soul that dies first, never the body.
