Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment

by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under,

it will lift you up. This is the trick. This is what all these teachers and philosophers who really counted,

who really touched the alchemical gold, this is what they understood.

This is the shamanic dance in the waterfall. This is how magic is done.

By hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering it’s a feather bed.

~Terence McKenna

when the hope outweighs the doubts…

inquiry for today~ just this…..

these memories

There is a dimension of life, of awareness, that you can discover, tune into, rest in, that is silent, deep, embracing of all,

and in perfect balance with it—a kind of wisdom that says, ‘Yes, these are the inevitable changes on the surface,

and here’s the stillness of awareness underneath it all.

~Jack Kornfield
