• Psychedelics are not a substitute for faith. They are a door to authentic faith, born of encountering directly the sacred dimension of everyday experience.

• There are those, however, that are not frightened of grief: dropping deep into the sorrow, they find therein a necessary elixir to the numbness. When they encounter one another, when they press their foreheads against the bark of a centuries-old tree...their eyes well with tears that fall easily to the ground. The soil needs this water. Grief is but a gate, and our tears a kind of key opening a place of wonder thats been locked away. Suddenly we notice a sustaining resonance between the drumming heart within our chest and the pulse rising from the ground

• A dog starv'd at the master's gate
  Predicts the ruin of the State.
  A horse misus'd upon the road
  Calls to heaven for human blood.
  Each outcry of the hunted hare
  A fibre from the brain does tear,
  A skylark wounded on the wing,
  A cherubim does cease to sing.

THANKS FOR THAT. VERY HELPFUL RIGHT NOW.
