Seeing The Beauty Every Day

I'd like to know that you can see the Beauty every day
and guide your life by its Presence. I'd like to know
that you can see the Beauty,
even when it's not pretty every day…
~ Uriah Mountain Dreamer

All Is Being Purified

This life, therefore, is not righteousness,
but growth in righteousness;
not health, but healing; not being, but becoming;
not rest, but exercise.

We are not yet what we shall be,
but we are growing toward it.
The process is not yet finished, but
it is going on.

This is not the end, but it is the road.
All does not yet gleam in glory, but
all is being purified.
~ Martin Luther

Life Is A Daring Adventure

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.

Security does not exist in nature,

nor do the children of humanity as a whole experience it.

Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than exposure.

~ Helen Keller

A large volume of adventures

may be grasped within this little span of life,

Passion For Adventure

So many people live within unhappy circumstances

and yet will not take the initiative

to change their situation because they are conditioned

to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism,

all of which may appear to give one peace of mind,

but in reality nothing is more dangerous

to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future.

The very basic core of a one's living spirit is their passion for adventure.

The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence

there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon,

for each day to have a new and different Sun.

~ Christopher McCandless

Secret Of The Creative Life

The secret of the creative life

is often to feel at ease with your own embarrassment.

We are paid to take risks, to look silly.

Some people, like racing car drivers

are paid to take risks in a more concrete way.

We are paid to take risks in an emotional way.

The film critic is like a medical examiner.

He gets the cadaver on the table, he opens it up,

and tries to figure out why it died.

The filmmaker is like the pregnant mother

who is simply trying nurture this thing.

You have to keep the medical examiner

out of the delivery room because he will get in there

and he will kill that baby.

~ Paul Schrader, interviewed by Terry Gross, Fresh Air (from Heron Dance)

A Life Of Creativity Beyond Ordinary

A life of creativity is a life of risk.

It is a life of going beyond your ordinary,

of embracing the odyssey, of leaving your familiar,

of trying to make a contribution….
