When you see the limit not as a continuing barrier, but as a threshold, you are already beyond.*
John O’Donohue

I suggest that in the creative transcendent experience, we are exploring both the outer world beyond ourselves and the inner world of our minds.**
Alan Lightman

Keep moving,
Keep exploring,
Outside of the lines that you have accepted
or have set for yourself;
In this incredible universe, the end of something
is the beginning of something more:
the universe will always be much richer
than our ability to understand it^ –
And there you have it, if you ever wondered about
what lies unrevealed within you,
Sculptured in unremarkable clay, you are an expression of
a rich, unknowable cosmos,
And though you’ll never know everything about
what’s out there and in here, your exploring will
certainly reward you, as Dorothy exhorts:
If you walk far enough,
we shall sometime come to
someplace.^^
