“At times, life presents us with challenging conditions, and trying to navigate them can be utterly overwhelming. Since our most powerful asset is the ability to make choices for ourselves, this freedom to choose, we must conquer, cherish dearly, and practice cleverly. (“The infinite Wisdom of Meditation“)”
― Erik Pevernagie

“It was the great paradox of my existence – I wanted to be loved, but I also wanted to be left alone. A dichotomy I could never quite reconcile.”

“The more plants grow, the more they draw down carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.”

“Too easily, in the name of the good, or the rational, or the moral, or the Christian, or the democratic, or even the merely socially acceptable, we blink away the actualities of our condition—the feelings, drives, dreams, and desires that express, with painful accuracy, the depths at which we really live. Not where we think or imagine we should live, or where society advises us to live, but where our lives are fueled and our deepest satisfactions experienced—this is what we disregard. We allow ourselves too often to live lives that are secondhand and largely theoretical.”
