“A human being is part of a whole, called by us the Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. ~Albert Einstein”
Ann Betz, Integration: The Power of Being Co-Active in Work and Life

Wallace J. Nichols
“You didn’t come into this world. You came out of it, like a wave from the ocean. You are not a stranger here. —ALAN WATTS”
Wallace J. Nichols, Blue Mind: The Surprising Science That Shows How Being Near, In, On, or Under Water Can Make You Happier, Healthier, More Connected, and Better at What You Do

Kimberli A. Bindschatel
“For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons. ~ Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy”
Kimberli A. Bindschatel, Operation Dolphin Spirit

Elizabeth Gilbert
“My desire to work—my desire to engage with my creativity as intimately and as freely as possible—is my strongest personal incentive to fight back against pain, by any means necessary, and to fashion a life for myself that is as sane and healthy and stable as it can possibly be. But that’s only because of what I have chosen to trust, which is quite simply: love.”
Elizabeth Gilbert, Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear

Rick     Hanson
“Neurons that fire together, wire together.” This saying from the work of the psychologist Donald Hebb means that active synapses—the connections between neurons—get more sensitive, plus new synapses grow, producing thicker neural layers.”
Rick Hanson, Just One Thing: Developing a Buddha Brain One Simple Practice at a Time
