“Underneath the sheets were couches and chairs and tables, but not just ordinary couches and chairs and tables—- they looked like works of art. One couch was carved to look like a shell, with wood shaped like the spiral of a conch. Its cushions were blue-green, and the soft knit blanket on top reminded her of sea-foam. Another chair was shaped like the stump of a tree and carved with flowers and acorns. A thick moss-green cushion was sunk into the center of it. The top of a coffee table was a mosaic of pebbles, polished as if by a stream.”

“...you are part of an infinite energy and by doing you are gaining, not losing. By giving you are attaining, not losing.
Live as the ocean. Be oceanic! Never think of losing, about anything. Nothing is lost, nothing can be lost. And you are not an individual; you only appear as an individual. The whole is joined to you; you are just a face of the whole, just a way the whole has happened.
Enjoy, celebrate, be active, and always be a giver. To be a giver so totally that you never think of retaining or holding anything is the only real prayer.
To give is to pray. To give is to love.
And those who can give, they are always given more.”
― My Way: The Way of the White Clouds
