“I'm speaking of the pursuit of excellence in all things. All things! Presence of mind and devotion to craft. A great artist has these. A great chef. A great master of tea.

“The underlying reason for convergence seems to be that all organisms are under constant scrutiny of natural selection and are also subject to the constraints of the physical and chemical factors that severely limit the action of all inhabitants of the biosphere.

“The world worlds, and is more fully in being than the tangible and perceptible realm in which we believe ourselves to be at home...By the opening up of a world, all things gain their lingering and hastening, their remoteness and nearness, their scope and limits. In a world's worlding is gathered that spaciousness out of which the protective grace of the gods is granted and withheld. Even this doom of the god remaining absent is a way in which the world worlds...All coming to presence...keeps itself concealed to the last.” WorldWayBelieveHomeLastsGraceLimitsGainsAll ThingsInsightOpeningGrantedRealmsScopeDoomAbsentProtectiveTangibleConcealedOpening UpLingeringSpaciousnessRemoteness Author:Martin Heidegger

“Love flies, runs, leaps for joy; it is free and unrestrained. Love gives all for all, resting in One who is highest above all things, from whom every good flows and proceeds. Love does not regard the gifts, but turns to the Giver of all good gifts. Love knows no limits, but ardently transcends all bounds. Love feels no burden, takes no account of toil, attempts things beyond its strength; love sees nothing as impossible, for it feels able to achieve all things. Love therefore does great things; it is strange and effective; while he who lacks love faints and fails.” KnowsGivingFeelsDoeRunningAbleJoyTurnsImpossibleFailingAchieveStrangeLimitsHighestFlowAll ThingsAccountsRegardBoundsVery GoodBurdenGreat ThingsLeapToilGiverLove Strength Author:Thomas a Kempis
