Oni Xuma

It may mean the same thing, or something else, or its opposite, depending on how you say it and for what purpose, depending on the time of day and the place where you say it and always, at the same time, it is a gateway–not for escape but for eternity. It allows us to live at the same time in this and in other realities, to traverse the endless, unmeasurable provinces of the night, if you deserve it, you can pass from dreams to reality, without leaving the dream.

What you seek is seeking you.

Rumi

[onixuma]

The eternal principle, which never was born, never will die: it is in all things: it is in you now. You are the wave on the face of the ocean. When the wave is gone, is the water gone? Has anything happened? Nothing has happened. It is a play, a game, a dance.

Joseph Campbell

[onixuma]

The goal of life is to make your heartbeat match the beat of the universe, to match your nature with Nature.

Joseph Campbell

[onixuma]

Everything that slows us down and forces patience, everything that sets us back into the slow circles of nature, is a help. Gardening is an instrument of grace.

May Sarton

[onixuma]

Gardening is inevitably a process of constant, remorseless change. It is the constancy of that process that is so comforting, not any fixed moment.
