People need to climb the mountain not simply because it is there, but because the soulful divinity needs to be mated with the spirit.
~ the 14th Dalai Lama
If we will think of ourselves as coming out of the earth, rather than having been thrown in here from somewhere else, we see that we are the earth, we are the consciousness of the earth. These are the eyes of the earth. And this is the voice of the earth.
