“Let the beauty you love be what you do. There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.”
-Rumi

“People say that what we’re all seeking is a meaning for life. I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking.  I think that what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances within our own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive”
-Joseph Campbell
