“I enjoyed learning something and, uh, so I think like with anything in life, in the schoolroom in an artistic endeavor, if you have just a really good teacher, it's inspiring. I certainly use, in my work, I mean, I used to rely heavily on imagery. I was obsessed with this photograph that was in the NY Times of a fish engulfing a smaller fish and this smaller fish had this look in its eyes; it knew what was about to happen and, I don't know how they ever captured such an image, but I've used that for a play I (did). It's called "Saved."” IfsThinkingKnowsLooksMeanPlayUseHappensEyeUsedKnow HowTeacherPhotographFishesSavedEnjoyedArtisticObsessedRelyEndeavorImageryCapturedGood TeacherAnything In LifeEngulfing Author:Amy Ryan
“This is what our yoga practice is trying to accomplish. Not white light descending from heaven and engulfing you, not energy released from the base of your spine going up through your crown chakra so you become a human lightening bolt, not a halo floating on top of your head. Simply heightened states of awareness, enlightenment, becoming more and more aware which gives more and more insight, which brings wisdom and gives choice. With that wisdom and choice, we become the masters of our destiny and at peace in our life.” GivingTryingHumansStatesLightChoicesEnergyHeavenWhitePracticeDestinyOur LivesAwarenessMastersBecomingEnlightenmentYogaInsightAccomplishCrownsFloatingOur DestinySpineBecoming MoreBoltsChakraDescendingYoga PracticeHalosWhite LightEngulfing Author:Bryan Kest

“There came to him an image of man’s whole life upon the earth. It seemed to him that all man’s life was like a tiny spurt of flame that blazed out briefly in an illimitable and terrifying darkness, and that all man’s grandeur, tragic dignity, his heroic glory, came from the brevity and smallness of this flame. He knew his life was little and would be extinguished, and that only darkness was immense and everlasting. And he knew that he would die with defiance on his lips, and that the shout of his denial would ring with the last pulsing of his heart into the maw of all-engulfing night.” MenHeartLittlesWholeWould BeEarthLastsNightDiesDarknessGloryDignityLipsWhole LifeTinyRingsDenialFlamesTragicHeroicImmenseEverlastingGrandeurDefianceBrevitySmallnessEngulfing Author:Thomas Wolfe
