Logic might be unanswerable because it was so absolutely wrong.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Plant consciousness, insect consciousness, fish consciousness, all are related by one permanent element, which we may call the religious element inherent in all life, even in a flea: the sense of wonder. That is our sixth sense, and it is the natural religious sense.

When I hear modern people complain of being lonely then I know what has happened. They have lost the cosmos.

I can never decide whether my dreams are the result of my thoughts, or my thoughts the result of my dreams.
