Only in relationship can you know yourself, not in abstraction and certainly not in isolation. The movement of behavior is the sure guide to yourself, it's the mirror of your consciousness; this mirror will reveal its content, the images, the attachments, the fears, the loneliness, the joy and sorrow. Poverty lies in running away from this, either in its sublimations or its identities.

**********************Ferron

I need to work you into my skin
through morning glories;
touch before speaking,
find you gardening.
**********************Jesse White from Dominion of Wings

As the sun drives gold nails through the shadows, a dull red dawn, the color of deer and rust, soars up the sky. A hundred palm trees look like tufted pens in inkwells. A flock of slack-jawed pelicans glides overhead, perfectly aligned as synchronized swimmers. Brisk winds drive clouds overhead like time-lapse photography, and I feel the ancient thrill of impending sunlight.
**********************Diane Ackerman, from Dawn Light

I am not bound to win, but I'm bound to be true, I'm not bound to succeed, but I'm bound to live up to what light I have.
************************************Abraham Lincoln

Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese,
harsh and exciting--over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.

It is not sex that gives the pleasure, but the lover.
**********************************Marge Piercy

Songwriting is about getting the demon out of me. It's like being possessed. You try to go to sleep, but the song won't let you. So you have to get up and make it into something, and then you're allowed to sleep. It's always in the middle of the bloody night, or when you're half awake or tired, when your critical faculties are switched off. So letting go is what the whole game is.
**********************************John Lennon

Why measure time? Of course one has to know

Uncut--would terrify
The human soul past bearing, leave
Us mindless, screaming at the empty sky

One day you finally knew what you had to do, and began. "Mend my life" each voice cried. It was already late enough, and a wild night, and the road full of fallen branches and stones.

The ancient masters were profound and subtle.
Their wisdom was unfathomable.
There is no way to describe it;
all we can describe is their appearance.
**********************************Lao-Tzu

Though it is unlikely that hierarchies will disappear in the forseeable future, a new form of horizontal organization is emerging that rivals the hierarchical firm in its capacity to create information-based products and services, and in some cases, physical things.

Famous Quotes: School for Wonder Personal Development
Personality Development to Awaken Your True Nature

In the shapeliness of life, habit plays its sovereign role. The religious literally wear it. Most people take action by habit in small things more often than in important things, for it is the simple matters that get done readily, while the more somber and interesting , taking more effort and being more complex, often must wait for another day. Thus, we could improve ourselves quite well by habit, by its judicious assistance, but it's more likely that habits rule us.
**********************************Mary Oliver

The life force for humankind is, perhaps, nothing more or less than the passionate energy to connect, express, and communicate. Enrollment is that life force at work, lighting sparks from person to person, scattering light in all directions. Sometimes the sparks ignite a blaze; sometimes they pass quietly, magically, almost imperceptibly, from one to another.
**********************************Benjamin Zander

********************************** Robertson Davies

A soulful relationship offers two difficult challenges: one to come to know oneself...and two to get to know the deep, often subtle richness in the soul of the other. As you get to know the other deeply, you will discover much about yourself. Especially in the moments of conflict and maybe even despair, being open to the demands of a relationship can provide an extraordinary oopportunity for self knowledge. It provides an occasion to glimpse your own soul and notice its longings and its fears. And as you get to kow yourself, you can be more accepting and understanding of the other's depth of soul.
