We are always, always mortal

“Me, wherever life is lived, O to be self-balanced for contingencies, to confront night, storms, hunger, ridicule, accidents, rebuffs, as the trees and animals do.” – Walt Whitman

“We have too high an opinion of ourselves. We align ourselves with the angels instead of the primates.” – Alan Fletcher

“If you look at the path, we do not see the sky. We are earth people on a spiritual journey to the stars. Our quest, our earth walk, is to look within, to know who we are, to see that we are connected to all things, that there is no separation, only in the mind.” – Native American
