Mother

Dream

Posted by PJ under discoveries, dreams and dreamtime, miracles, poetry, quote of the day
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“It’s the dream we carry in secret
that something miraculous will happen,
that it must happen—
that time will open
that the heart will open
that doors will open
that the mountains will open
that springs will gush—
that the dream will open,
that one morning we will glide into
some little harbour we didn’t know was there.

—Olav H. Hague, Dream
    (tr. Robin Fulton)

Familiar

Posted by PJ under habit, knowing, quote of the day
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“Quite generally, the familiar, just because it is familiar, is not cognitively understood. The commonest way in which we deceive either ourselves or others about understanding is by assuming something as familiar, and accepting it on that account; with all its pros and cons, such knowing never gets anywhere, and it knows not why.”

—G. W. F. Hegel, The Phenomenology of Spirit (tr. A. V. Miller)
