"Cellular interliving, an infiltration and assimilation far more profound than any aspect of human sexuality, produced everything from spring green blooms and warm wet mammilian bodies to the earth's global nexus." Biologist Lynn Margulis Symbiotic Planet
"When you walk across the fields with your mind pure and holy, then from all the stones, and all growing things, and all animals, the sparks of their soul come out and cling to you, and then they are purified and become a holy fire in you."
Attributed to a disciple of the Rabbi Baal Shem Tov as noted in Annie Dillard's For the Time Being
"The meaning of life is to see."
Zen Master Hui Neng
Has this Great Egret found her sacred place? She best not get too close. She can send her aspirations on the wind.
5 yrs. old. My father's hand reassuringly against my back. My feet straining toward the clouds. Higher! Faster! Higher! All I could do, almost leaping, believing that the sky belonged to the Swing.
They fly with a wild abandon and make surreal clicking noises. When I was a child some of the boys called them knitting needles and said they could sting worse than a bee because they could sew into your arm.

"the great floodgates of the wonderworld flung open."
