The outward work can never be small if the inward one is great, and the outward work can never be great if the inward is small or of little worth.
~ Meister Eckhart
My soul is not asleep.
It is awake, wide awake.
It neithr sleeps, nor dreams, but watches,
its eyes wide open, sees
far-off things, and listens
at the shore of the great silence.
