On emotional needs
“Love makes a good relationship a dream and a bad relationship a nightmare. Love does not fix a relationship—it amplifies what’s already there.” - Mark Manson
On origins
Returning after six weeks with a republishing of a tribute piece to my parents.
On alchemy
“Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up. This is the trick. This is what all these teachers and philosophers who really counted, who really touched the alchemical gold, this is what they understood. This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering it’s a feather bed.” - Terence McKenna
On love
“That was the real secret of the Tarahumara: they’d never forgotten what if felt like to love running. They remembered that running was mankind’s first fine art, our original act of inspired creation. Way before we were scratching pictures on caves or beating rhythms on hollow trees, we were perfecting the art of combining our breath and mind and muscles into fluid self-propulsion over wild terrain.” - Christopher McDougall, Born to Run.
