"To fashion stars out of dog dung, that is the Great Work. To take a negative experience and, by comparing it to something worse, make it feel good, is the great skill."

There is nothing truly serious in life. All words sound hollow when one listens to them carefully.

One must be very strong, or very stupid, or completely exhausted to face life with indifference.

All things are aggregations of atoms that dance & by their movement produce sound. When the rhythm of the dance changes, the sound it produces also changes... Each atom perpetually sings its song, and the sound at every moment creates dense subtle forms.

Who knows the flower best? - the one who reads about it in a book, or the one who finds it wild on the mountainside?

Nature has a language of its own, or maybe those who have lived long in solitude read in it their own unconscious inner feelings and mysterious foreknowledge.

To the one who knows how to look and feel, every moment of this free wandering life is an enchantment.
