The soul knows its own experience;
it needs only a little awakening

Quote of the Day

Stillness is our most intense mode of action. It is in our moments of deep quiet that is born every idea, emotion, and drive which we eventually honor with the name of action ... we reach highest in meditation, and farthest in prayer. In stillness every human being is great; he or she is free from the experience of hostility; she or he is a poet and most like an angel.

~ by Leonard Bernstein in "Religion and Ethics" by D.J. Green with thanks to Dorothea Queen
