Through A Crystal

A  L  O  H  A !

 “Nothing is the truth nor a lie.
Everything depends on the color
Of the crystal through 
which one sees it”
    Pedro CalderΓ³n de la Barca












“Because one believes in oneself, 
one doesn't try to convince others. 
Because one is content with oneself, 
one doesn't need others' approval. 
Because one accepts oneself, 
the whole world
accepts him or her.”
        Lao Tzu










"We sit silently and watch the world around us. This has taken a lifetime to learn. It seems only the old are able to sit next to one another and not say anything and still feel content. The young, brash and impatient, must always break the silence. It is a waste, for silence is pure. Silence is holy. It draws people together because only those who are comfortable with each other can sit without speaking. This is the great paradox."
                         Nicholas Sparks

"We're each of us
alone, to be sure.
What can you do
but hold your hand
out in the dark.'
Ursula LeGuin









 "When your heart speaks 
take good notes."
           Judith Campbell 











"When you go out into the woods
and you look at trees, you see
all these different trees. And some
of them are bent, and some of them
are straight, and some of them
are evergreens, and some of them
are whatever. And you look at
the tree and you allow it.

You appreciate it.

You see why it is the way it is.

You sort of understand that it
didn’t get enough light, and so
it turned that way. And you don’t
get all emotional about it.
You just allow it.
You appreciate the tree. -








- The minute you get near humans,
you lose all that. And you are
constantly saying “You’re too this,
or I’m too this.” That judging mind
comes in. And so
I practice turning
people into trees.
Which means
appreciating them
just the way
they are."
Ram Das

"My sorrow, when she's 
here with me, thinks 
these dark days of 
autumn rain are beautiful 
as days can be; she 
loves the bare, the withered tree; 
she walks the sodden pasture lane."
                        Robert Frost 









"I am... a mushroom; 
On whom the dew 
of heaven drops 
now and then."
                         John Ford  
                                 [Legendary Film Maker]














"Hope is a certitude, 
for  good is eternal 
and evil transitory."
 Γ‰liphas LΓ©vi
b. Alphonse Louis Constant 
(February 8, 1810 – May 31, 1875)
"French occult author and ceremonial magician."

"During times of universal deceit, 
telling the truth becomes
 a revolutionary act."

“I believe that there is 
luminosity hiding in the 
shadow of the mundane. 
And things that hover at 
the periphery of our vision. 
If that’s magic, then 
I believe in it.”
