“What is magic? In the deepest sense, magic is an experience. It's the experience of finding oneself alive within a world that is itself alive. It is the experience of contact and communication between oneself and something that is profoundly different from oneself: a swallow, a frog, a spider weaving its web.” WorldDifferentAliveMagicCommunicationFindingsOneselfContactSpidersFrogsWeavingFinding Oneself Author:David Abram

“The script [of Regression] wasn't the draw for me. It was largely Alejandro [Amenabar] and his way of talking. To hear him talking about the script was way more interesting than the script. He wrote it, and so, English is his second language. It's an interesting thing. I've had that before. I was directed by Alfonso Cuarón before, too. It's always interesting when you're being directed by somebody like that. So much of directing is about communication, and finding the right words, and what it means, and how to convey certain emotions and ideas.” WayMeanIdeasCertainLanguageInterestingEmotionTalkingCommunicationFindingsDrawsScriptsInteresting ThingsRight WordsRegressionWay Of Talking Author:Ethan Hawke
“Perhaps the most important thing we bring to another person is the silence in us, not the sort of silence that is filled with unspoken criticism or hard withdrawal. The sort of silence that is a place of refuge, of rest, of acceptance of someone as they are. We are all hungry for this other silence. It is hard to find. In its presence we can remember something beyond the moment, a strength on which to build a life. Silence is a place of great power and healing.” LifePersonsImportantHardMomentsRememberPeaceUnderstandingHealingSilencePowerStrengthAcceptanceBuildingCommunicationFindingsEmpathySelf ImprovementCriticismImportant ThingsFilledHungrySympathyInteractionRefugeSilence IsSanctuaryUnspokenGreat PowerMoments In TimeWithdrawalLack Of UnderstandingSilence Is GoldenInteracting With OthersLack Of EmpathyRemember Something Author:Rachel Naomi Remen
