an enchanted place where colors are brighter, 

the air softer, and the morning 

more fragrant than ever again.'

The world beneath the surface

 

 'As I cultivate sacred seeing,
I grow my ability to see the world beneath
the surface appearance of things.'

Eyes of the Heart, p.5 ~

Despair

'Despair is a necessary and seasonal state of repair,

a temporary healing absence, an internal and psychological winter

 when our previous forms of participation in the world take a rest; 

it is a loss of horizon, 

it is the place we go when we 

do not want to be found in the same way anymore....'

~ David Whyte, Consolations, from Despair, p. 53-54 ~
