The moon, like a flower in heavens high bower, with silent delight sits and smiles on the night.
~ William Blake
Days End
When a man no longer confuses himself with the definition of himself that others have given him, he is at once universal and unique. He is universal by virtue of inseparability of his organism from the cosmos. He is unique in that he is just this organism and not any stereotype of role, class, or identity assumed for the convenience of social communication.
~ Alan Watts

When I am silent I have thunder inside.

Genuine compassion must have both wisdom and loving kindness. That is to say, one must understand the nature of suffering from which we wish to free others (this is wisdom), and one must experience deep
Intimacy and empathy with other sentient beings (this is living kindness).
~ Dalai Lama (The Heart Sutra)
