What we call “mind” and “matter,” “material” and “immaterial,” are not separate realms, but names we give to the patterns that arise in an interactive dance.*
AleXander McManus

Distancing ourselves from the multidimensional world of the senses, coming to label and quantify and classify as our primary mode of knowing, we relieve ourselves from the abundance of these realities and say, with a sigh of relief, “This is only this, and that is only that.**
Jean Houston

If I could slow down, put aside
for a moment
the things that demand my attention but
won’t matter tomorrow, if
I would allow myself to be curious and
to explore this person, this view, this object, this idea, this
interruption,
Then I will understand this world is far from being
a this is only this and that is only that
world.
