See the moon and the stars.
Gaze at the beauty of eath’s greenings.
Now, think.”
― Michael Braungart, Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things

“My little beast, my eyes, my favorite stolen egg. Listen. To live is to be marked. To live is to change, to acquire the words of a story, and that is the only celebration we mortals really know. In perfect stillness, frankly, I’ve only found sorrow.”
― Barbara Kingsolver, The Poisonwood Bible

“A gift, to be a gift, has to be accepted. Otherwise it lies like a burden between people.”
― Robert Fisher, The Knight in Rusty Armor

“we are continually overflowing toward those who preceded us, toward our origin, and toward those who seemingly come after us. ... It is our task to imprint this temporary, perishable earth into ourselves so deeply, so painfully and passionately, that its essence can rise again “invisibly,” inside us. We are the bees of the invisible. We wildly collect the honey of the visible, to store it in the great golden hive of the invisible.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke
