“As an exercise in appreciation, try for one hour to feel grateful for every single thing you find yourself doing. When you read, be grateful you can see and read. When you walk, be grateful for the use of your feet. When you talk, be grateful for the ability to communicate with others. For a full hour do not take even the smallest action for granted. Be aware of every detail of what you can do. Anyone who does this daily for even a short time will have a much greater appreciation for everything he does.” FeelsTryingDoeUseActionCan DoHoursAbilityWalksGreaterFeetExerciseGratitudeGratefulDetailsCommunicateAppreciationGrantedFinding YourselfSmallestBe GratefulShort TimeOne HourAbility To Communicate Author:Zelig Pliskin
“We accepted a definition of ourselves which confined the self to the source and to the limitations of conscious attention. This definition is miserably insufficient, for in fact we know how to grow brains and eyes, ears and fingers, hearts and bones, in just the same way that we know how to walk and breathe, talk and think - only we can't put it into words. Words are too slow and too clumsy for describing such things, and conscious attention is too narrow for keeping track of all their details.” ThinkingKnowsWayHeartSelfFactsEyeGrowsWalksAttentionBrainKnow HowSourceConsciousEarsFingersTrackDefinitionsDetailsBonesBreatheAcceptedLimitationConfinedDescribingClumsyInsufficient Author:Alan Watts
“When you can clearly see yourself being there, you can see much more clearly how to get there. You can imagine the path to your dreams, and then start to actually walk it. Play an active role in your own future. Imagine with passion and detail how you'd most like it to be.” PlayDreamPassionWalksRolesPathImagineDetailsActiveYour DreamsBeing There Author:Ralph Marston
“Peter Conners stunning prose poems are packed with keen sensitivity, dreaminess, and wit. I love his time travels, the vibrant layering of image and detail. Try taking walks as you are reading this book- the dazzle of landscapes, inner and outer, feel replenished and rich. This is language and vision I want to come home to again and again.” WantFeelsTryingBookHomeReadingLanguageWalksVisionRichDetailsWitLandscapeProseComing HomePeterTime TravelAgain And AgainSensitivityStunningDazzle Author:Naomi Shihab Nye
“When I was little, I loved books that gave me lots of detail so that I felt like I could be transported to this other place, or, in the case of an illustration, I felt like I could walk into the page.” LittlesBookFeltWalksCasesPagesDetailsIllustration Author:Jan Brett
