The wise woman does not confuse the road map with the road or indulge in dogmatic thinking. She knows she can paint the ocean by dipping her brush in it, for she is the sea and the brush and the artist of her perceptions. Heal your ignorance, discover your wisdom, awaken the Seer.
Patanjali, Yoga Sutra 2:24-26, as translated by Alberto Villoldo in Yoga, Power, and Spirit: Patanjali the Shaman

Life is our greatest teacher, perfectly presenting people and situations to reflect back to us the lessons we are learning. Each person's spiritual path is unique, pointing us inward on a journey to our source of life. It is here we may find a stillness and grace that connects us to each other and all that is. |
|
When we realize our own power to create and begin to live our lives as our masterpiece, we know that each word we use, in our minds or with our voice, is a brushstroke in our masterpieces. When we are impeccable with our words, we consciously create beauty with Love and Respect for ourselves and all other beings. |
