“Wonder is not an exterior destination to arrive at, like a mountaintop view, or a once in a lifetime concert. Those experiences may bring that feeling. But wonder is an internal filter through which we learn to look at life.
This filter is always there, but it is most easily accessible to us in new situations, when we don't have a narrative about what's happening yet. If we want to feel the rapturous experience of being alive more often, then removing the filter of familiarity is the practice we most need to adopt.”

“Chiudendo la porta sul mondo reale, potremo vivere in pace nel nostro.
Sappiamo che un mondo senza dolore 猫 un mondo senza sentimento... ma un mondo senza sentimento 猫 un mondo senza dolore.”

“The best thing you can do for your fellow, next to rousing his conscience, is--not to give him things to think about, but to wake things up that are in him; or say, to make him think things for himself. The best Nature does for us is to work in us such moods in which thoughts of high import arise. Does any aspect of Nature wake but one thought? Does she ever suggest only one definite thing? Does she make any two men in the same place at the same moment think the same thing? Is she therefore a failure, because she is not definite? Is it nothing that she rouses the something deeper than the understanding--the power that underlies thoughts? Does she not set feeling, and so thinking at work? Would it be better that she did this after one fashion and not after many fashions? Nature is mood-engendering, thought-provoking: such ought the sonata, such ought the fairytale to be.
"But a man may then imagine in your work what he pleases, what you never meant!"
Not what he pleases, but what he can. If he be not a true man, he will draw evil out of the best; we need not mind how he treats any work of art! If he be a true man, he will imagine true things; what matter whether I meant them or not? They are there none the less that I cannot claim putting them there! One difference between God's work and man's is, that, while God's work cannot mean more than he meant, man's must mean more than he meant. For in everything that God has made, there is a layer upon layer of ascending significance; also he expresses the same thought in higher and higher kinds of that thought: it is God's things, his embodied thoughts, which alone a man has to use, modified and adapted to his own purposes, for the expression of his thoughts; therefore he cannot help his words and figures falling into such combinations in the mind of another as he had himself not foreseen, so many are the thoughts allied to every other thought, so many are the relations involved in every figure, so many the facts hinted in every symbol. A man may well himself discover truth in what he wrote; for he was dealing all the time things that came from thoughts beyond his own.”
― The Fantastic Imagination of George MacDonald

“And there, sir, lies the entire problem,
to have within oneself the inseparable
reality and the material clarity of feeling, to have it in such a degree that
the feeling cannot but express itself, to
have a wealth of words and of formal
constructions which can join in the
dance, serve one's purpose鈥攁nd at the
very moment when the soul is about to
organize its wealth, its discoveries, this
revelation, at the unconscious moment
when the thing is about to emanate, a
higher and evil will attacks the soul like
vitriol, attacks the word and image mass,
attacks the mass of feeling and leaves me
panting at the very door of life.”

“But it was too late. He had already slipped into a deep depression and developed a dangerous indifference to himself. To describe it as sadness would be to ascribe a degree of feeling that was lacking in him during that period which lasted for 鈥 who knows? 鈥 perhaps weeks, months, or maybe almost twenty-five years.”

“As I'm a WIP (work in progress)
whip me if I'm wrong or disgress,
but time has no excuse
to age us at all, no use
when all that we feel is being ageless!”

“When the matter at hand is eternal salvation or damnation, the 鈥渦nsettled soul鈥 suspicious of ritual and tradition looks for evidence of her spiritual condition as close to the knowing self as possible, not in the objective mathematical language to which the Royal Society aspired but in objective experiences of spontaneous, passionate speech: in the substance of the inmost, most immediate thoughts and feelings, evinced by spontaneous, fervent prayer, which it takes both scientifically and economically as proofs and tokens of grace. If the Restoration witnessed the rise of what Robert Markley has called the ideology of objectivity, it also saw the coalescence of a related ideology of spontaneity. Concerned with the science of the soul and informed by emerging market and commercial logic, the cardinal points of this ideology were authentic and immediate sincerity (as opposed to performance or artifice), pure desire (as opposed to coldness, hypocrisy or a bifurcation between doctrinal knowledge and feeling), freedom (as opposed to form), and novelty and currency (as opposed to the repetitive, the boring, and the out-of-date). In the consolidation of the discourse and practice of free prayer, we see the culmination of Renaissance crises of representation and the fruition of the dramatic Reformation attacks on ritual, when under increasing pressures toward certainty and ever more entrenched economic logics, spontaneity becomes policy: not an option, but, for growing numbers of Protestants, paradoxically an obligation and the sine qua non of valid prayer and a saved subjectivity.”

“Bunyan points out, for example, how the Pharisees of Jesus鈥 day no doubt phrased their prayers well but were condemned because they fell short of 鈥減ouring out鈥 their hearts to God (IWP, 38). Without help from the Holy Spirit in purifying and pouring out the heart, he writes, one who prays is 鈥渉yp- ocritical, cold, and unseemly鈥 and 鈥渁bominable to God鈥 (IWP, 37).
The hypocrisy God detests, then, is importantly not a matter of say- ing one thing and doing another, but of saying one thing and feeling another: of a disjunction between the logocentric intellect and the heart, between the propositional truths of abstract doctrine and the emotions which are substantively to mirror and confirm it.”

“To think, it all begins with material wealth is to live in delusion for real wealth is to sense the spirit of life and unwavering peace. Those who have not felt such.... are beggars at heart.”

“The bass is as much about the quiet as it is about the sound; in the same way a heartbeat contracts and relaxes, filling with life, a single note needs stillness to breathe.”

“Should you be gone, I think of others not,
my mind in, like a wife, your spot,
when you鈥檙e here, I feel you close,
since one we are, elan of, you just give me dose;

each-other to gaze at, true rapture feeling, plus;
when we鈥檙e gone, the world will still be here,
love there will still be, yet others with, that鈥檚 clear鈥”

“The inconsistencies In me,
always grow, each day, by three,
I think - from feeling, I refrain,

with you I grow - alone I sprout,
every person needs a dream,
even if alone they seem鈥”

“Books leave gestures in the body; a certain way of moving, of turning, a certain closing of the eyes, a way of leaving, hesitations. Books leave certain sounds, a certain pacing; mostly they leave the elusive, which is all the story. They leave much more than the words. Words can be thrown together. It is their order and when they catch you - their time.”
