“Travel is the realm of the impossible adventures, the quick fix, the ship passing in the night. It entitles you to meet interesting people, whom you would never meet, even if you laid traps or advertised for them. Not only do you met them, but you also unmeet them, all in the space of, it often seems, a mere compacted evening. As there is so little time, bodies in motion drop their guard and immediately get on with their stories. Then the proverbial ships part, each to its destination, never again to brush each other's wake.” PeopleIfsLittlesStoriesBodySeemsNightSpaceInterestingImpossibleAdventureMetsMerePassingPassingsShipsEveningRealmsDestinationTrapsBrushesLittle TimeProverbialQuick FixesBodies In Motion Author:Lawrence Millman
“I love stories where the impossible appears believable, plausible and real. Maybe it's silly, but it's one of the reasons Michael Crichton's writing always appealed to me: he took outlandish ideas and made them seem completely within the realm of possibility. I remember reading "Jurassic Park" and feeling like: "Oh, yeah - no, that's totally happening right now. They're bringing back dinosaurs!"” WritingMadeIdeasRealReasonStoriesFeelingsSeemsRememberReadingImpossiblePossibilityRight NowHappeningsYeahSillyLove StoryRealmsParksDinosaursPlausibleBelievableOutlandishJurassic ParkRealm Of Possibility Author:J.

“Spirituality promotes passivity when the domain of spirit is defined as outside the world. When this world is the terrain of spirit, we ourselves become actors in the story, and this world becomes the realm in which the sacred must be honored and freedom created.” WorldStoriesSpiritSpiritualityActorsThis WorldSacredDefinedRealmsHonoredDomainPassivityTerrain Author:Starhawk
