As scientific understanding has grown, so our world has become dehumanized. Man feels himself isolated in the cosmos, because he is no longer involved in nature and has lost his emotional “unconscious identity” with natural phenomena. These have slowly lost their symbolic implications. Thunder is no longer the voice of an angry god, nor is lightning his avenging missile. No river contains a spirit, no tree is the life principle of a man, no snake the embodiment of wisdom, no mountain cave the home of a great demon. No voices now speak to man from stones, plants, and animals, nor does he speak to them believing they can hear. His contact with nature has gone, and with it has gone the profound emotional energy that this symbolic connection supplied

Happily going though life at your own pace is the best feeling in the world. No one else’s timing matters. It’s so liberating to know that the path you’re on is correct for you and that you’ll get to where to need to be when the time is right for you. It’s a very underrated type of independence.

I realise I have to be so careful ab who I let into my life. Yeah someone can be nice or interesting to speak to but it’s not enough. Are their values strong? Are they authentic? Do they let their insecurities influence how they treat you? Do they want you to prove something to them? Do they want to change you? Or do they accept you as you are? Are they intentional w their words? Are they genuinely kind? Are they walking w love? All important questions to ask myself about any friendship/relationship.
