Philosopher and poet John O’Donohue builds this sense of communing relationship when he describes the human being as “an in-between presence, belonging neither fully to the earth from which she has come, nor to the heavens toward which her mind and spirit aim. In a sense, the human being is the loneliest creature in creation. Paradoxically, the human being also has the greatest possibility for intimacy.”

"All the great human activities—if pursued wholeheartedly and in the right spirit—have this ultimate magic and capacity for transformation," says bestselling author Michael Murphy.
Murphy has been called the father of the human potential movement, one of the most influential movements in twentieth-century American culture.

So all you can do is give in to it, step right inside the storm, closing your eyes and plugging up your ears so the sand doesn't get in, and walk through it, step by step. There's no sun there, no moon, no direction, no sense of time. Just fine white sand swirling up the sky like pulverized bones.”
