Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens.
Carl Jung

Spirit Dancer · 06-11-2010, 07:19 AM

Most true happiness comes from one's inner life, from the
disposition of the mind and soul. Admittedly, a good inner life
is difficult to achieve, especially in these trying times. It
takes reflection and contemplation and self-discipline.
William L. Shirer

Spirit Dancer · 06-11-2010, 07:21 AM

Reflection must be reserved for solitary hours; whenever she was alone,
she gave way to it as the greatest relief; and not a day went by without a solitary
walk, in which she might indulge in all the delight of unpleasant recollections.

Jane Austen

Spirit Dancer · 06-11-2010, 07:22 AM

The real man smiles in trouble,
gathers strength from distress,
and grows brave by reflection.

Thomas Paine

The Summer Day
by Mary Oliver

Who made this world?
Who made the swan, and the black bear?
Who made the grasshopper?
The grasshopper, I mean
the one who has flung herself out of the grass
the one who is eating sugar out of my hand,
who is moving her jaws back and forth instead of up and down
who is gazing around with her enormous and complicated eyes.
Now she lifts her pale forearms and thoroughly washes her face.
Now she snaps her wings open, and floats away.
I don't know exactly what a prayer is.
I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down
into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass,
how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields,
which is what I have been doing all day.
Tell me, what else should I have done?
Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon?
Tell me, what do you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?
