Looking down, I saw the earth beneath me like a rose petaled with mountains, fragrant with deep peace.

  • Squeeze your eyes closed, as tight as you can, and think of all your favorite autumns, crisp and perfect, all bound up together like a stack of cards. That is what it is like, the awful, wonderful brightness of Fairy colors. Try to smell the hard, pale wood sending up sharp, green smoke into the afternoon.

    Growing Up Absurd" by Paul Goodman, (p. 85), 1956.

You have the chance to experience the brightness of life and the haziness of life, which is also a source of power.
