The Sea

22 Jan

The sea
“I spent uncounted hours sitting at the bow looking at the water and the sky,
studying each wave, different from the last, seeing how it caught
the light,
the air,
the wind;
watching patterns,
the sweep of it all,
and letting it take me.”
― Gary Paulsen,
Caught by the Sea: My Life on Boats

“In still moments
by the sea life
seems large-drawn and simple.
It is there we can see
into ourselves.”
― Rolf Edberg

“We need the tonic of wildness…
At the same time that
we are earnest to explore
and learn all things we require
that all things
be mysterious
and unexplorable,
that land
and sea
be indefinitely wild,
unsurveyed and unfathomed by us
because unfathomable.
We can never have enough of mother nature.”
― Henry David Thoreau,
Walden: Or, Life in the Woods

“My soul is full of longing
for the secret of the sea,
and the heart of the great ocean
sends a thrilling pulse through me.”
― Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Because We Share This Small Planet Earth…

 The Dreams of Artists in the Nature of Action

In this world of many artists we are uplifted and inspired by those leading the way for workable changes in bringing about a new civilization.

“As soon as we allow ourselves to think of the world as alive, we recognize that a part of us knew this all along”  ~Rupert Sheldrake

 

“When you can be your own best audience and when your applause is the best applause you know of, you’re in good shape. And when you can play a real good role—when you can go down here and be the mule or be the general with equal verve, in the total spirit of play, and do it with terrific sincerity—you’re living!” “Do not allow yourself to become upset by people or things…they are powerless. Your reaction is their only power!!”

“If you give up your own integrity and only gain for yourself, you may as well be dead. Those you’ve crossed will never feel the same, and others will smell it on you and act accordingly. I have subscribed to this my entire life, and have always tried to give far more than I take, and find a way to give back either now or over time, or later. Repay your obligations and then some. You will feel whole again. My advice, take it or leave it, at your peril.” This is a silly picture but I like it for unknown reasons.  SPLURGE ON CREATING — L. Ron Hubbard  “Look, an artist has an ability to change a culture. That is a humongous ability and with it comes humongous responsibility. So to that degree, they’re pretty big beings.”

“Trust others, but still keep your eyes open.”

“On the day we can fully trust each other there will be peace on earth.”

L. Ron Hubbard

~~The 14th Dalai Lama

~~In his acceptance speech

~~for the Nobel Peace Prize,

~~his holiness the Dalai Lama said,

“Because we all share this small planet Earth, we have to learn to live 

in harmony and peace with each other and with nature.  

That is not just a dream, but a necessity.”

“In my garden there is a large place for sentiment. My garden of flowers is also my garden of thoughts and dreams. The thoughts grow as freely as the flowers, and the dreams are as beautiful.”~Abram Urban 

 

“Creation of an idea is a valuable commodity not to be disvalued by this bill below. Doing so will not only discourage artists from creating, but will surely result in a world where creativity dies.”

One by one the guests arrive
The guests are coming through
The open-hearted many
The broken-hearted few

And those who dance begin to dance
And those who weep begin
Welcome, welcome, cries a voice
Let all my guests come in
Part of “The Guests”
by Leonard Cohen

 

“Don’t blow it – good planets are hard to find.” 

“In the vaunted works of Art,

the masterstroke is Nature’s part.”  ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
