“A Light exists in Spring Not present on the Year At any other period - When March is scarcely here A Color stands abroad On Solitary Fields That Science cannot overtake But Human Nature feels.

When that has educated the frame to self-possession, to nimbleness,to grace, the steps of the dancing-master are better forgotten; so painting teaches me the splendor of color and the expression of form, and as I see many pictures and higher genius in the art, I see the boundless opulence of the pencil, the indifferency in which the artist stands free to choose out of the possible forms.” ArtSelfSeemsEyeFormArtistStepsTeachGraceColorPaintingExpressionMastersGeniusHigherDancingDanceForgottenPossessionEducatedPencilsLimbsBoundlessSplendorOpulence Book:The Essays of Ralph Waldo Emerson Source: The Essays of Ralph Waldo Emerson
“I always try and stay one step ahead of people, not looking like I looked like last week, so I can be as anonymous as possible and part of it is just for me.

One of the reasons people get confused about freedom, enlightenment, and liberation is because this awakened consciousness has different facets or different dimensions, a bit like a crystal.
