Anchored

Posted by PJ under intuition, quote of the day, seeking
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“Everything is begging to be discovered, not accidentally, but intuitively. Seeking intuitively, one’s destination is never in a beyond of time and space but always here and now. If we are always arriving and departing, it is also true that we are eternally anchored.”
