“The cosmos exploded, actualizing its potentiality of space and time. The centers of power, like fragments of a bursting bomb, were hurled apart. But each one retained in itself, as a memory and a longing, the single point of the whole; and each mirrored in itself aspects of all the others throughout all the cosmical space and time.” WholeMemoriesSpaceAspectLongingBombsCosmosTime And SpaceFragmentsBursting Book:Last and First Men, & Star Maker: Two Science-fiction Novels Source: Last and First Men, & Star Maker: Two Science-fiction Novels

“Your body is the ground metaphor of your life, the expression of your existence... So many of us are not in our bodies, really at home and vibrantly present there. Nor are we in touch with the basic rhythms that constitute our bodily life. We live outside ourselves - in our heads, our memories, our longings - absentee landlords of our own estate. My way back into life was ecstatic dance. I reentered my body by learning to move my self, to dance my own dance from the inside out, not the outside in.” WaySelfHomeBodyMovingMemoriesMy OwnExistenceExpressionLongingMetaphorYour BodyRhythmMy WayEstatesOur MemoriesEcstaticLandlord Author:Gabrielle Roth
