In each age men of genius undertake the ascent. From below, the world follows them with their eyes. These men go up the mountain, enter the clouds, disappear and reappear. People watch them, mark them. They walk by the side of precipices. They daringly pursue their road. See them aloft, see them in the distance; they are but black specks. On they go. The road is uneven, its difficulties constant. At each step a wall, at each step a trap. As they rise, the cold increases. They must make their ladder, cut the ice and walk on it, hewing the steps in haste. A storm is raging. Nevertheless they go forward in their madness. The air becomes difficult to breath. The abyss yawns below them. Some fall. Others stop and retrace their steps; there is a sad weariness. The bold ones continue, eyed by the eagles. The lightning plays about them, the hurricane furious. No matter, they persevere.

Victor Hugo

Words have the power to both destroy and heal.

When words are both true and kind, they can change our world.

An ancient legend says the Taurus Full Moon is the one time of the year

the Buddha leaves the high place where he works and dwells,

to return to the Earth to bless the world and its people.

~ Taoist Saying ~

All great progress takes place when two sciences come together,

and when their resemblance proclaims itself,
despite the apparent disparity of their substance.

Henri Poincare

You see, but you do not observe.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

till you come to the end; then stop.

We all run on two clocks. One is the outside clock, which ticks away our decades and brings us ceaselessly to the dry season. The other is the inside clock, where you are your own timekeeper and determine your own chronology, your own internal weather and your own rate of living. Sometimes the inner clock runs itself out long before the outer one, and you see a dead man going through the motions of living.

Thomas Earnshaw
