“One of the greatest tragedies in life is to lose your own sense of self and accept the version of you that is expected by everyone else.”

— K.L. Toth

Remember what happens before conception and after death, and you develop a sense of divine comedy. Dreaming takes you there.

Carry magic inside you if you want to find magic around you.

— Robert Moss

“In times of radical change and great uncertainty, it’s important to have containing ideas that give us a place to stand in the midst of the storms. One form of containing ideas can be found in proverbs, for instance, “the unimaginative mind is paralyzed by its own doubt.” Amidst great uncertainties, we can have deep doubts, and that can turn into a form of paralization, the inability to move in the midst of all the changes. Related to that is William Blake’s idea that “a culture is a totality of imaginative power.” …” In a sense, he’s talking about a person’s inner worldview, which in terms of imagination, is equal to the world.

— Michael Meade
