“Women's art, though created in solitude, wells up out of community. There is, clearly, both enormous hunger for the work thus being diffused, and an explosion of creative energy, bursting through the coercive choicelessness of the system on whose boundaries we are working.” WellsArtEnergyCommunityWorkCreativeSolitudeHungerBoundariesEnormousExplosionsBurstingCreative Energy Author:Adrienne Rich
“In my very early childhood, when I was only 3 or 4 or 5, I would enter for many hours into meditative states in which the world would become light and energy and I would transcend the boundaries of the senses.” WorldStatesLightEnergyHoursChildhoodSensesBoundariesRamaEarly Childhood Author:Frederick Lenz

“In the west, Apollo and Dionysus strive for victory. Apollo makes the boundary lines that are civilization but that lead to convention, constraint, oppression. Dionysus is energy unbound, mad, callous, destructive, wasteful. Apollo is law, history, tradition, the dignity and safety of custom and form. Dionysus is the new, exhilarating but rude, sweeping all away to begin again. Apollo is a tyrant, Dionysus is a vandal.” FormLawEnergyLinesVictoryCivilizationTraditionDignitySafetyMadWestStriveBoundariesOppressionDestructiveCustomsTyrantsConventionsRudeApolloConstraintsSweepingExhilaratingBegin AgainCallousDionysusUnboundVandals Book:Sexual Personae Source: Sexual Personae
“It is important to note that multiculturalism does not share the postmodernist stance. Its passions are political; its assumptionsempirical; its conception of identities visceral. For it, there is no doubting that history is something that happened and that those happenings have left their mark within our collective consciousness. History for multiculturalists is not a succession of dissolving texts, but a tense tangle of past actions that have reshaped the landscape, distributed the nation's wealth, established boundaries, engendered prejudices, and unleashed energies.” DoeImportantActionPastPoliticalPassionPoliticsEnergyLeftNationsWealthConsciousnessHistoryDoubtHappenedShareIdentityDiversityHappeningsPrejudiceMarkNotesBoundariesLandscapeCollectivesConceptionMulticulturalismTenseSuccessionStanceVisceralCultural DiversityUnleashedDissolvingCollective Consciousness Author:Joyce Appleby
“We tend to misunderstand the colour black, seeing it as evil, or negation of life. Rather, black means all things being possible, infinite energy of life before consciousness has constructed any boundaries.

“If you are always waiting to be, do, or have what you want, your energy becomes blocked. Your body may reflect this in excess weight or other physical problems. Express yourself directly. Set clear boundaries with other people and do what you need to do to take good care of yourself. Energy will then move freely through your body and this circulation will dissolve any excess weight. The more you are willing to be yourself, the less you'll need to use food as a substitute nurturer. You will be receiving the natural nurturing of the universe.” PeopleIfsWantNeedsMayUseProblemBodyCareMovingUniverseEnergyWaitingNaturalClearWillingWeightWhat You WantYour BodyBoundariesBeing YourselfSubstitutesExcessReceivingNurturingExpress YourselfCirculationBlockedAlways Waiting Author:Shakti Gawain
