"These rocks are too heavy, can't carry them any more,don't know why i ever picked them up before,going to have to put them down where they don't belong,'cause i can't get them back to where they came from. These rocks belong to no one, except history. Somewhere between the desert and the rolling sea,or maybe up in the mountains blue and tall,I picked them but now i'm going to let them fall."

"You are magnificent - a jewel reflecting inwardly and outwardly, the light of the universe. Observe how you respond to beauty everywhere - you bear witness to everything. Be aware that you, yourself, are an inextricable part of the infinite creative intelligence, and be blessed."

"Music is for souls & hearts to dance & sing. Art is for expressing your visionary being. Words are tools for exploring & celebrating. Time is a pool to swim & dream & create in. Waste not one jot of what you are given!Use everything you've got to maximise living."

"Open spaces sing to my heartof the art of nature and the nature of art."

"I see, eye see, what my heart feels, soul knows. In flowing sound and glowing scenes, I touch the living dream."

"Other dancers weave through our lives, sometimes stirring our deep soul's fires."

"I love to lie down with my back on the grass and feel earth's energy revitalize me."

"Don't be afraid to show your soul, we need plenty of soul to show in this world."

"Don't be afraid to show you soul, we need plenty of soul to show in this world."

"The soul accepts the mystery within and all around, immersing itself in it, celebrating it."

"I entrain myself (when I remember to)by tuning in to higher frequenciesin the ether, in my soul, everywhere I go,always accessible, always helpfulfor obtaining a higher perspectivein a matter of minutes."

"The steady soul and the ego pretender / walk with their arms round each other's shoulders / through the mirage."

"...the perfect beauty of the pattern that each raindrop makes as it joins its puddle."

"Mist lies over the river like the icy breath of winter angels. Darkness gathers round... and it is beautiful. Thank you for this life, this death, whatever it is you arethat makes us finally see."

"There are always exquisite things and times to remind us of the original source of all beauty and love."

"The misconception of something being a certainty sometimes gets to me until I remember we can change most things consciously."

"If you want to change something, whether in a relationship, work, or anywhere, identify and focus on the few most important bits, and don't throw in extras to mess it up."

"We can't fix, only support each other to process, manage, transform, make life-journeys in own way."

"You know that feeling of invincibility you sometimes get, especially when young and testing yourself - well that could be because actually know deep down that we are indeed eternal. We come into this world to live a life, to experience it, from somewhere else, some other plane, but we are programmed by all around us to deny or forget this - until one day we may remember again. That feeling of blissful reconnection with our source can be invoked through nature, beautiful writing or art or music, any detailed craft or work of discovery or personal dedication, meditation or other mentally balancing practice, or even through religious experience if there is a pure communion (not a pretence of it). But we should not yearn to return too soon, we should accept that we have come here for the duration of each life, and revel in the chance to learn and grow on this splendid planet. We can draw a deep sense of being-ness. peace, and love from this connection, which will sustain us through any trial. Once nurtured, this becomes stronger than any other connection, so of course our relationships here are most joyful when they allow us the personal freedom to spend time developing and celebrating that connection. Our deepest friendships form with those we can share such time and experiences with - discussing, meditating, immersing ourselves in nature, or creating our music, art, written or other works. Our journeys here are voyages of discovery, opening out the wonders within and all around. What better companions could we have than those who are able to fully share in such delights with us?"

"When you truly sing, you sing yourself free. When you truly dance, you dance yourself free. When you walk in the mountains or swim in the sea, again, you set yourself free."
