Inspiration

These quotes inspire the essence of my work − it is about connecting with who we truly are and encouraging that to unfold and express ourselves in our lives.

What if the question is not “Why am I so infrequently the person I really want to be?”but rather“Why do I so infrequently want to be the person I really am?”

(from The Dance by Oriah Mountain Dreamer)

 

All the work we do, psychologically and spiritually, is not meant to get rid of the waves in the ocean of life, but for us to learn how to surf.

Ken Wilber

 

What are you living for?
There is an answer so personal
So passionate, beyond all conceiving
In your innermost coding – 
That your secret may die with you,
But not before you’ve had the chance
To witness its luminous traces

Jay Ramsay

 

You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.

from Wild Geese by Mary Oliver

 

We are so engaged in doing things
To achieve purposes of outer value
That we forget that the inner value,
The rapture that is associated with being alive,
Is what it’s all about.

Joseph Campbell
