“When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe. One fancies a heart like our own must be beating in every crystal and cell, and we feel like stopping to speak to the plants and animals as friendly fellow-mountaineers. Nature as a poet, an enthusiastic workingman, becomes more and more visible the farther and higher we go.” FeelsTryingHeartUniverseSpeakAnimalEnvironmentPoetHigherPicksFellowsPlantCellsFancyVisibleFriendlyStoppingEnthusiasticCrystalsPlants And Animals Book:My First Summer in the Sierra: Illustrated Edition Source: My First Summer in the Sierra: Illustrated Edition
“Fear of sexuality is the new, disease-sponsored register of the universe of fear in which everyone now lives. Cancerphobia taught us the fear of a polluting environment; now we have the fear of polluting people that AIDS anxiety inevitably communicates. Fear of the Communion cup, fear of surgery: fear of contaminated blood, whether Christ's blood or your neighbor's.” PeopleUniverseChristEnvironmentBloodTaughtDiseaseAnxietyCommunicateSexualityAidsNeighborCupsCommunionSurgeryRegisterTaught Us Author:Susan Sontag
“A saint is simply a human being whose soul has ... grown up to its full stature, by full and generous response to its environment, God.

“There was a time in my acting career, where I was trying to figure out if acting was the thing to do. You know? I was always on this journey of trying to learn more about humanity and people - using the characters and situations as guideposts. I could switch up and do another job as long as I'm continuing that same search and that same journey of revealing my connection to humanity and the universe. And directing gives me the opportunity to explore ALL these different lives and their connection to their environments and the people. And I get to connect to the wires of the universe.” PeopleIfsKnowsGivingTryingLongDifferentCharacterJobsHumanityUniverseOpportunityActingSituationCareersEnvironmentJourneyFiguresConnectionsGive MeThings To DoDo You KnowContinuingWireRevealingDifferent Life Author:Forest Whitaker

“I think that when you go on a shamanic journey, you're allowing yourself to have much more access to your unconscious or your sense of connection within the universe, whatever you want to call that. You've accessed places in your brain that you don't normally. You're still there - it's your brain. But you have access in a way that you normally don't. For me, doing that felt like being in a new environment.” ThinkingWayWantStillsUniverseFeltBrainEnvironmentJourneyGoes OnConnectionsAccessUnconsciousAllowingNew Environment Author:Amy Hardie
“Doing work which has to be done over and over again helps us recognize the natural cycles of growth and decay, of birth and death, and thus become aware of the dynamic order of the universe.
