“Our existence as embodied beings is purely momentary; what are a hundred years in eternity? But if we shatter the chains of egotism, and melt into the ocean of humanity, we share its dignity. To feel that we are something is to set up a barrier between God and ourselves; to cease feeling that we are something, is to become one with God.” IfsFeelsYearsGodFeelingsHumanityExistenceShareOceanHundredDignityEternityCeaseChainsBarriersEgotismMomentary Book:The Wit and Wisdom of Gandhi Source: The Wit and Wisdom of Gandhi
“I love anything that involves the ocean. Swimming, snorkelling or surfing are all fun, which distracts from your mind that you are actually doing a workout. Being outdoors in the sun and the salt water is great for freeing your mind and feeling alive.” MindFeelingsFunWaterSunAliveOceanSwimmingSaltWorkoutSurfingSalt WaterI Love Swimming Author:Samantha Stosur
“The Psalms offer us a way of joining in a chorus of praise and prayer that has been going on for millennia and across all cultures. Not to try to inhabit them, while continuing to invent non-psalmic 'worship' based on our own feelings of the moment, risks being like a spoiled child who, taken to the summit of Table Mountain with the city and the ocean spread out before him, refuses to gaze at the view because he is playing with his Game Boy” WayTryingChildrenHas BeensMomentsFeelingsCultureGamesPrayerViewsCitiesBoysTakenRiskOffersMountainOceanWorshipPraiseTablesRefuseSpreadContinuingSummitJoiningSpoiledChorusPsalmsSpoiled ChildrenJoining In Author:N.

“In the morning of life, before its wearisome journey, The youthful soul doth expand, in the simple luxury of being; It hath not contracted its wishes, nor set a limit on its hopes; The wing of fancy is unclipped, and sin hath not seared the feelings: Each feature is stamped with immortality, for all its desires are infinite, And it seeketh an ocean of happiness, to fill the deep hollow within.” SoulFeelingsDesireWishSinSimpleMorningJourneyYouthLimitsOceanInfiniteWingsLuxuryFeaturesImmortalityFancyHollow Author:Martin Farquhar Tupper
“When I was young I once found a book in a Dutch translation, 'The leaves of Grass'. It was the first time a book touched me by its feeling of freedom and open spaces, the way the poet spoke of the ocean by describing a drop of water in his hand. Walt Whitman was offering the world an open hand (now we call it democracy) and my 'Monument for Walt Whitman' became this open hand with mirrors, so you can see inside yourself.” WorldWayFirstsBookFeelingsHandsYoungFoundWaterSpaceDemocracyPoetOceanFirst TimeMirrorsGrassTouchedSpokesOfferingTranslationsMonumentDescribingDutchWaltLeaves Of GrassDrop Of WaterOpen Spaces Author:Karel Appel

“When you learn how to trust your feelings then you'll know how to recognize it - That part of you that needs no healing is like a swollen river rising. So choke me with a violent passion and drown me in a deep emotion. You've got to help me build this feeling. I'm swimming in a stagnant ocean. Been blinded by smoke and mirrors and crippled by a fear of tomorrow. If you don't help me shake this feeling, then I'll be marking time in Limbo.” IfsKnowsNeedsHelpingFeelingsPassionEmotionHealingKnow HowTomorrowOceanRiversMirrorsViolentSmokeRisingShakesHelp MeSwimmingChokeBlindedStagnantCrippledSwollenLimboSmoke And MirrorsDeep EmotionsMarking Time Author:Tim Finn

“It is impossible for the mind which is not totally destitute of piety, to behold the sublime, the awful, the amazing works of creation and providence - the heavens with their luminaries, the mountains, the ocean, the storm, the earthquake, the volcano, the circuit of the seasons, and the revolutions of empires - without marking in them all the mighty hand of God, and feeling strong emotions of reverence toward the Author of these stupendous works.” MindFeelingsHandsStrongHeavenEmotionImpossibleCreationRevolutionMountainOceanSeasonsStormAwfulEmpiresReverenceProvidenceSublimePietyEarthquakesCircuitsHands Of GodVolcanoesDestituteStrong EmotionsAmazing Work Author:Timothy Dwight V
