The whole world is a series of miracles, but we’re so used to seeing them that we call them ordinary things.
— Hans Christian Anderson (via arrow-and-oracle)
Yoga is about clearing away whatever is in us that prevents our living in the most full and whole way. With yoga, we become aware of how and where we are restricted — in body, mind, and heart — and how gradually to open and release these blockages. As these blockages are cleared, our energy is freed. We start to feel more harmonious, more at one with ourselves. Our lives begin to flow — or we begin to flow more in our lives.
— Cybele Tomlinson (via cosmofilius)
Beyond the beauty of external forms, there is more here: something that cannot be named, something ineffable, some deep, inner, holy essence. Whenever and wherever there is beauty, this inner essence shines through somehow. It only reveals itself to you when you are present.
— Eckhart Tolle (via sun-hawk)
In fierceness, in heat, in longing, in risk, I find something of love’s nature. In my desire for you, I burn at the right temperature to walk through love’s fire.
— Jeanette Winterson, The.Powerbook (via frenchtwist)
