    Joseph Campbell
    “Is the god the source, or is the god a human manner of conceiving of the force and energy that supports the world? In our tradition God is a male. This male and female differentiation is made, however, within the field of time and space, the field of duality. If God is beyond duality, you cannot say that God is a "He." You cannot say God is a "She." You cannot say God is an "It." (18)”

    Pablo Neruda
    “Tie your heart at night to mine, love,
    and both will defeat the darkness
    like twin drums beating in the forest
    against the heavy wall of wet leaves.

    Night crossing: black coal of dream
    that cuts the thread of earthly orbs
    with the punctuality of a headlong train
    that pulls cold stone and shadow endlessly.

    Love, because of it, tie me to a purer movement,
    to the grip on life that beats in your breast,
    with the wings of a submerged swan,

    So that our dream might reply
    to the sky's questioning stars
    with one key, one door closed to shadow.”
    ― pablo neruda
