Mosaics
Monday, 28Nov2016 Filed in: quotes & thinkums⭐︎ studies
“We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of the dream.
Wandering by lone sea breakers, and sitting by desolate streams.
World losers and world forsakers, for whom the pale moon gleams.
Yet we are movers and the shakers of the world forever it seems.”— Arthur William Edgar O'Shaughnessy
Depreciated polytheism
Friday, 11Nov2016 Filed in: quotes & thinkums
“Christianity, Judaism, and Islam have all depreciated polytheism as intrinsically inferior - primitive, crude, lost. But much of the profundity of Paganism lies in its deep appreciation for the complexity and richness of life, its embrace of the world that surrounds us, that indeed is us.”— Frank Donnola from “Reconciling One and Many,” Gnosis № 28, Spring 1993
More important
Monday, 31Oct2016 Filed in: quotes & thinkums
“Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than one's fear. The timid presume it is lack of fear that allows the brave to act when the timid do not. But to take action when one is not afraid is easy. To refrain when afraid is also easy. To take action regardless of fear is brave.”— Ambrose Hollingworth Redmoon from “No Peaceful Warriors!”, Gnosis № 21, Fall 1991
