“The human venture depends absolutely on this quality of awe and reverence and joy in the Earth and all that lives and grows upon the Earth. As soon as we isolate ourselves from these currents of life and from the profound mood that these engender within us, then our basic life-satisfactions are diminished. None of our machine-made products, none of our computer-based achievements can evoke that total commitment to life.” HumansMadeEarthJoyGrowsQualityGrowing UpProductsDependsAchievementComputerCommitmentMachinesProfoundCurrentsSatisfactionMoodAweReverenceVentureEvoke Book:The Great Work: Our Way into the Future Source: The Great Work: Our Way into the Future

“Once you have a handle on loving yourself, you can practice sharing that love with others. You’ve probably been taught to reserve the language of love for when you’re feeling overwhelmingly tender and passionate, and only for those who have made huge commitments to you.
