Journey

Posted by PJ under home, journeys, quote of the day, walking
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“The longest journey begins with a single step, not with a turn of the ignition key. That’s the best thing about walking, the journey itself. It doesn’t much matter whether you get where you’re going or not. You’ll get there anyway. Every good hike brings you eventually back home. Right where you started.”

—Edward Abbey, “Walking,” The Journey Home

Voice

Posted by PJ under quote of the day, voice
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“That time
we all heard it,
cool and clear,
cutting across the hot grit of the day.
The major Voice.
The adult Voice
forgoing Rolling River,
forgoing tearful tale of bale and barge
and other symptoms of an old despond.
Warning, in music-words
devout and large,
that we are each other’s
harvest:
we are each other’s
business:
we are each other’s
magnitude and bond.”

―Gwendolyn Brooks, Paul Robeson

Nameless

Posted by PJ under desire, names, quote of the day, that which abides, the deep within
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao;
The name that can be named is not the eternal name.
The nameless is the beginning of heaven and earth.
The named is the mother of ten thousand things.
Ever desireless, one can see the mystery.
Ever desiring, one can see the manifestations.
These two spring from the same source but differ in name;
this appears as darkness.
Darkness within darkness.
The gate to all mystery.

—Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching (tr. by Gia-Fu Feng & Jane English)

Thin

Posted by PJ under quote of the day, the invisible, the numinous
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“There is in Celtic mythology the notion of ‘thin places’ in the universe, where the visible and invisible world come into their closest proximity. To seek such places is the vocation of the wise and the good, and those who find them find the clearest communication between the temporal and the eternal.”

—Peter J. Gomes, The Good Book
