“Anne Pitkin's poems have such lyrical sweep, such a sensitive eye for the natural world as it touches the human, that reading Winter Arguments is like seeing a landscape or, better, a richly realized painting of a landscape dotted with figures. But that would leave out their music, which would be a loss. This is a wise and graceful book by a well-traveled woman who knows how to confront deep feeling and frame it to make it all the more intense.” KnowsWorldHumansWellsBookFeelingsWould BeEyeReadingNaturalLossKnow HowWiseSeeingFiguresPaintingArgumentWinterIntenseLandscapeSensitiveTraveledNatural WorldLyricalDeep Feeling Author:Rosellen Brown
“We're hard-wired by 200,000 years of evolution to be sensitive to the idea that someone might be watching us. They might be predators, after all. An uneasy feeling is perfectly natural if you suspect that someone has you in their ocular sights, whether it's a ghost or just some guy at the bus stop.” IfsYearsIdeasHardFeelingsMightGuyNaturalEvolutionSightGhostSensitiveSuspectsBusPredatorUneasyPerfectly NaturalBus StopsUneasy Feelings Author:Seth Shostak
“Charity is not a potency of the soul, because if it were it would be natural. Nor is it a passion, because it is not in a sensitive potency in which are all passions. Nor is it a habit, because a habit is removed with difficulty; charity, however, is easily lost through one act of mortal sin. Therefore charity is not something created in the soul.” IfsSoulWould BePassionLostNaturalSinHabitDifficultyCharityMortalsSensitivePotencyMortal Sin Author:Thomas Aquinas
“I'm actually a huge fan of digital as well. I appreciate how that technology opens the doors for filmmakers who never had access to that level of quality before. However, I do think film itself sets the standard for quality. You can talk about range, light, sensitive, resolution -- there's something about film that is undeniably beautiful, undeniably organic and natural and real.” ThinkingWellsRealLightBeautifulFilmNaturalLevelsQualityTechnologyDoorsFansHugeStandardsAppreciateAccessRangeSensitiveFilmmakerDigitalResolution Author:J.

“There can be little question that good composition is far less dependent upon acquaintance with its laws, than upon practice and natural aptitude.

“There is a natural rhythm to the active and receptive energies within us. At times our energy is strong and outgoing - it is time to pursue our goals, take risks, get things accomplished. At other times, our energy is quiet and sensitive, and we need to take time to nurture ourselves, relax, and just 'be' for a while. As we trust and follow this rhythm, we attract everything we need and create everything we truly desire.” NeedsDesireEnergyStrongGoalNaturalRiskQuietActivePursueRhythmSensitiveAccomplishedRelaxTake TimeNurtureReceptiveOutgoing Author:Shakti Gawain
