on the edge of an impossible confidence

Jacques Derrida

incarnational depth

When the mind stops thinking – relaxes – then so does the body, and the mind starts to ride the contours & rhythms of the body. This is the stage at which I naturally become single-weighted.

To inherit is not simply to accept what is handed down from the master; it is to reaffirm the legacy in order to make it live on in a different way.

Martin Hägglund

Rather than being a mind thinking a body, I need to become a body "bodying" the mind – giving body to the mind – not in the sense of physical presence but in the sense of oceanic flows of energy.

Humility – character stripped of arrogance – comes from persistently beginning again.

Just as uncertainty in physics arises in the end from the fact that the object, in its turn, analyses the subject, so the uncertainty of thought comes from the fact that I am not alone in thinking the world

Jean Baudrillard

The pull of the Earth stimulates my heart to attract other hearts.

Spirit is timeless as well as spaceless. Spirit is whole and resists division in time or space. Spirit is not being, but the purpose and truth of being. Spirit is mind, the whole mind, Spirit is both transcendent and immanent. The transcendental and the immanent become fused in spirit.

Nicolai Berdyaev

a pristine ground of blue beryl

On discipline, it's said, is founded all that's good.
