Jacob Boehme 1575-1624 ~ Bob Dylan 1941- ...Jokerman

Thou must know that this world in its innermost
Unfolds its properties and powers in union with
The heaven aloft above us; and so there is
One Heart, one Being, one Will, one God, all in all.
The outermost moving of this world cannot comprehend
The outermost moving of heaven aloft above this world,
For they are one to the other as life and death,
Or as a man and a stone are one to the other.

Henry William Channing 1810-1884 ~ Van Morrison 1945- ...Did Ye Get Healed?

To live content with small means; to seek elegance
Rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion;
To be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich;
To listen to stars and birds, babes and sages,
With open heart; to study hard, to think quietly,
Act frankly, talk gently, await occasions, hurry never.
In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious,
Grow up through the common -- this is to be my symphony.

Henry David Thoreau 1817-1862 ~ Nina Violet 1982- ...Everything Comes Apart

The Divine is about to be, and such is its nature.
In our wisest moments we are secreting a matter, which,
Like the lime of the shell-fish, incrusts us quite over,
And well for us if, like it, we cast our shells from
Time to time, though they be pearl and of fairest tint.

Theodore Parker 1810-1860 ~ Tim Rice 1944- & Andrew Lloyd Webber 1948- ...Damned For All Time/Blood Money ~ Murray Head 1946-

America is a rebellious nation.
Our whole history is treason;
Our blood was attained before we were born;
Our creeds were infidelity to the mother church;
Our constitution treason to our fatherland.

Paramahansa Yogananda 1893-1952 ~ Randy Goodrum 1947- ...You Needed Me ~ Lenny Breau 1941-1984

Creation is light and shadow both, else no picture is possible.
The good and evil of maya must ever alternate in supremacy.
If joy were ceaseless here in this world, would man ever seek another?
Without suffering he scarcely cares to recall that he has forsaken
His eternal home. Pain is a prod to remembrance.
The way of escape is through wisdom...

John Hartford 1937-2001 ~ Rolling Stones (Jagger/Jones/Richards) ...Paint It Black ~ Eric Burdon & The Animals

The whole universe is based on rythms.
Everything happens in circles, in spirals.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 1803-1882 ~ John Prine 1946- & Keith Sykes 1949- ...You Got Gold

Truth is the property of no individual,
But is the treasure of all men.
