“The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.” Rudyard Kipling

“Why do I remember now the way starlight spun itself out to become dawn? Or the way the first breeze tried to brush away desire while the heart’s thin web hung the night’s promises by a thread?”

“We think that the point is to pass the test or overcome the problem, but the truth is that things don't really get solved. They come together and they fall apart. Then they come together again and fall apart again. It's just like that. The healing comes from letting there be room for all of this to happen: room for grief, for relief, for misery, for joy.”

“To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter… to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird’s nest or a wildflower in spring… these are some of the rewards of the simple life.”
John Burroughs
Annie Ovenden - Murmation over Lanhydrock Park.

This film will change you in so many ways. I, Origins (2014) follows a scientist who makes a groundbreaking discovery about the human eyes.
It’s inspiring, sad, and one of the most highly original films in a long time.

Myths are stories about people who become too big for their lives temporarily, so that they crash into other lives or brush against the gods. In crisis, their souls are visible.
