John O'Donohue  - Quotes

 For Equilibrium, a Blessing:

Like the joy of the sea coming home to shore,

May the relief of laughter rinse through your soul.



As the wind loves to call things to dance,

May your gravity by lightened by grace.



Like the dignity of moonlight restoring the earth,

May your thoughts incline with reverence and respect.



As water takes whatever shape it is in,

So free may you be about who you become.



As silence smiles on the other side of what's said,

May your sense of irony bring perspective.



As time remains free of all that it frames,

May your mind stay clear of all it names.



May your prayer of listening deepen enough

to hear in the depths the laughter of god.

Ursula K. Le Guin  - Quotes

 But you must not change one thing, one pebble, one grain of sand, until you know what good and evil will follow on that act. The world is in balance, in Equilibrium. A wizard's power of Changing and Summoning can shake the balance of the world. It is dangerous, that power...It must follow knowledge, and serve need.

Ursula K. Le Guin  - Quotes

 Life rises out of death, death rises out of life; in being opposite they yearn to each other, they give birth to each other and are forever reborn. And with them, all is reborn, the flower of the apple tree, the light of the stars. In life is death. In death is rebirth. What then is life without death? Life unchanging, everlasting, eternal?-What is it but death-death without rebirth?

Ursula K. Le Guin  - Quotes

 Death and life are the same thing-like the two sides of my hand, the palm and the back. And still the palm and the back are not the same...They can be neither seperated, nor mixed.
