“When your focus is on how you feel about things in the world then the things of the world slip from view, your little boat of learning things for what they are are swamped by the swells of how you feel about them. With hard work and with learning, the things of the world are still somehow out there, waiting for you to know about them, no matter how you feel. They survive how you feel about them and they are there before and after the storms of your feelings roar through and abate. Feelings aren't much of a compass to go by.”
― Stephen Jenkinson, Die Wise: A Manifesto for Sanity and Soul

“In the universe, there are things that are known, and things that are unknown, and in between them, there are doors.”
― William Blake

“Liminal moments. Those moments apart from time when you are gripped. Taken. When you are so fully absorbed in what you are doing that time ceases to exist.
Those early morning birthday moments were liminal, Sidda thought. Momma knew how to embrace liminality inspite of (or maybe because of) her emotional acrobatics. Momma taught me rapture.”
― Rebecca Wells, Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood

“Silence fell like a hammer made of feathers. It left holes in the shape of the sound of the sea.”
― Terry Pratchett, Nation
