Rachel Miner Instagram – Thought I’d share as I’m just taking a moment to stop and look at my life with joy and so much gratitude as it twists and turns and unfolds before me. How very very lucky I am for every experience, and yet always so deeply aware and centered in the knowledge that so many of us are in pain and suffering through unspeakable trials at every moment, wishing somehow to transmute every bit of joy I manage to touch into actions that lighten the load for others.
So many of my feelings summed up more beautifully by others always-
“The creation of the world did not take place once and for all time, but takes place every day.”
― Samuel Beckett.
“A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”
-Albert Einstein
“I wouldn’t be surprised if poetry – poetry in the broadest sense, in the sense of a world filled with metaphor, rhyme, and recurring patterns, shapes, and designs – is how the world works. The world isn’t logical; it’s a song.”
― David Byrne, Bicycle Diaries
“We must be willing to let go of the life we planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us.”
― Joseph Campbell
“All I ever wanted was to reach out and touch another human being not just with my hands but with my heart.”
