"And the world cannot be discovered ...."

And the world cannot be discovered by a journey of miles,

no matter how long,

but only by a spiritual journey,

a journey of one inch,

very arduous and humbling and joyful,

by which we arrive at the ground at our feet,

and learn to be at home.

Wendell Berry

"The scriptures are ...."

The scriptures are within yourself; [those that are written down] only point out what you have not been able to see on your own.

When you know yourself, you will be clear within and keep yourself well in check. Thus, there will be no reason for anyone to come and be your opponent. Even if your knowledge is insufficient and you make mistakes, it will not be your fault. Just entrust things to Heaven.

Issai Chozanshi

"He who loves, flies ...."

He who loves, flies, runs, and rejoices; he is free and nothing holds him back.

Henri Matisse
