‘illnesses constantly hover above us, their seeds blown by the wind, but they do not set in the terrain unless the terrain is ready to receive them’
— Claude Bernard

People will kill you over time, and how they’ll kill you is with tiny, harmless phrases, like ‘be realistic.’
— Dylan Moran (via c-ulo)

Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up. This is the trick. This is what all these teachers and philosophers who really counted, who really touch the alchemical gold, this is what they understood. This is the shamanic dance in the waterfall. This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering it’s a feather bed.
— Terrence McKenna (via ohhelloholly)
