At the center of his existence man is unknown to himself and must remain so,
for that part of being that calls itself man could be known fully
only if the community of being and its drama in time were finally known as a whole.
Eric Voegelin, American political philosopher, 1901 – 1985

Keep your eyes fresh and open and joyful.
And move with sure steps, yet flexibly
through the fields of world so richly endowed
Goethe

True restfulness is living ordinary life with a sense of ease, gratitude, appreciation, peace and prayer. We are restful when ordinary life is enough.
Ron Rolheiser, The Shattered Lantern
Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in. Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense. This new day is too dear, with its hopes and invitations, to waste a moment on the yesterdays.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

I can give you nothing
that has not already
its origins within yourselfI can throw open no
picture gallery
but your ownI can help make
your own world visible –
that is all.Herman Hesse.
