“I sense the world might be more dreamlike,
metaphorical, and poetic than we currently believe—but just as irrational
as sympathetic magic when looked at in a typically scientific way.
I wouldn’t be surprised if poetry—poetry in the broadest sense, in the

shapes, and designs—is how the world works. The world isn’t logical, it’s a
song.”
David Bryne

“We must remember the chemical connections between our cells and the stars, between the beginning and now. We must remember and reactivate the primal consciousness of oneness between all living things. We must return to that time, in our genetic memory, in our dreams, when we were one species born to live together on earth as her magic children.” Barbara Mor

“Recognizing the Earth as a living, spiritual being with a soul as well as a body, we will find that she can regenerate, come alive in a new way – no longer a resource to be used, but full of wonder and sacred meaning. Listening to her deep wisdom we will find ways to work together that sustain all of life, that care for the soul as well as the soil. This is the future that is waiting for us, full of all the magical possibilities of creation as well as the mystery and joy of the sacred.” Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee
