“You need no time to open yourself to the power of now and so awaken to who you are beyond name and form and realize that in the depth of your being, you are already complete, whole, one with the timeless essence of all life.”

“Of course it is of no use to direct our steps to the woods, if they do not carry us thither. I am alarmed when it happens that I have walked a mile into the woods bodily, without getting there in spirit.... What business have I in the woods, if I am thinking of something out of the woods?”
“I've learned through writing that if something made me feel deeply or anything at all, it was worth it.”
“The Edge... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over.”
More on Understanding
“Nature avenges herself speedily on the hard pedantry that would chain her waves. She is no literalist. Every thing must be taken genially, and we must be at the top of our condition, to understand any thing rightly.”
“Then she kissed me and I realized she probably was right, there must be fifty ways to leave your lover.”
