Meditation

The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves.

– Carl Jung

Love is anterior to life, posterior to death, initial of creation, and the exponent of breath.

– Emily Dickinson

The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn.– Ralph Waldo Emerson
