growing

The Dormouse: You've got no right to grow here.
Alice: Don't talk nonsense. You know you're growing too.
The Dormouse: Yes, but I grow at a reasonable pace, not in that ridiculous fashion.

Lewis Carroll - "Alice in Wonderland"

ripple effect

"Everybody talks about wanting to change things and help and fix, but ultimately all you can do is fix yourself. And that's a lot. Because if you can fix yourself, it has a ripple effect."
- Rob Reiner

wine rings

"Power will intoxicate the best hearts, as wine the strongest heads. No man is wise enough, nor good enough to be trusted with unlimited power." - Charles Caleb Colton

see through

"What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you think you know
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection
Is it all you want it to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks?
Would you find yourself
Find yourself afraid to see?"

Nine Inch Nails - "Right Where It Belongs"

into the void

"Between the finite and the infinite
The missing link of Love has left a void.
Supply the link, and earth with Heaven will join
In one continued chain of endless life."
- Ella Wheeler Wilcox

horizon

"Dusk, is just an illusion, because the sun is either above the horizon or below it. And that means that day and night are linked in a way that few things are; there cannot be one without the other, yet they cannot exist at the same time. How would it feel, I remember wondering to be always together, yet forever apart?" - Unknown

infinitely woven

"Nature uses only the longest threads to weave her patterns, so that each small piece of her fabric reveals the organization of the entire tapestry." - Richard P. Feynman

mother nature's veins

"Gaia was the tree of life, or web of life, with her root in the subatomic, atomic, molecular, and cellular levels of matter (mater/mother) reaching upward through the oceans, stones, soil, grass, forests, mountains, lakes, rivers, air and atmosphere to nurture all plants and creatures. A natural cycle of birth, sustenance and death was woven into the tapestry of Nature.

Gaia continuously gave birth to life through the love energy in her heart. The future generations of humanity were symbolized by a human mother nursing in Gaia's cave. Gaia's body was being ravaged and destroyed by man, reflecting the present crisis in the environment. A diseased and demonic phallus had erected structures all over the earth to suck dry Gaia`s milk and turn it into power and money. The wasteland of a disposable culture was piled high and was seeping into the microgenetic pool causing diseases and defects in the Great Chain of Life.

Emerging also from that microgenetic level - but on the side of Nature - was an evolutionary alarm represented by a large "seeing" hand which catalyzed the collective will of the people, enabling them to see, with eyes of unobstructed vision, the actions necessary to stop the destruction of the world soul."

There were two glasses and two chairs
And two people with one pulse."

shine on you crazy diamond

Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom,
blown on the steel breeze.
Come on you target for faraway laughter,
come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!
You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision,
rode on the steel breeze.
Come on you raver, you seer of visions,
come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!

Pink Floyd - "Shine On You Crazy Diamond"

cobweb mind

Now the sun goes off to its hiding place and the times darken
Black is the night - the stars so bright
My cobweb mind fills up with spiderweb
Don't you hear the night owl's scream and the stroke of the raven's wings
Don't you see the beauty of the naked branches - the silhouette of the trees
Don't your mind fill up with spiderweb

Under Byen - "Cobweb Mind"

elements of life

"An unbelievably powerful explosion launched the expansion of the universe
some 15 billion years ago. The big bang laid the foundations of the first
atoms, the first elements, first organisms ... first life...
The foundation of the world.

Our world then went on to develop gradually in the years that followed.
It progressed from the evolution of organisms
to the evolution of life and indeed humankind.
As the human race developed, people discovered the world, the continents...
Divided them into the countries, states, cities, streets...
They created infrastructures, energy sources,
industries and, of course, a wide range of technology.
These developments succeeded each other at an ever faster pace year after year.
Technology began to evolve more aggressively than people
could handle physically, but above all mentally.
This evolution has created a world in which people are
growing apart rather than coming together...

This path does not lead us to the true meaning of our existence.
So we have to reverse the force and make our way back to the essence of life...

There is only one way to discover the essence of our lives...
To gather knowledge about the core elements that make life possible...

That's why it is imperative to return to the essence...
To learn about the existence and the function of the elements...
These components are better known as... the elements of life"

Tiësto - "Elements of Life" Tour, 2007-2008
