Intimate is thy name - thus you came into this world, and thus would you live in it...

The temple of the mind sees our world and seeks to derive meaning - the temple of the heart sees the universe and celebrates the dance of life...

"The living of life, any life, involves great and private pain, much of which we share with no one. In such places as the Inner Gorge (of the Grand Canyon) the pain trails away from us. It is not so quiet there or so removed that you can hear yourself think, that you would even wish to; that comes later. You can hear your heart beat. That comes first..."
