I was so far inside,so dazed and far awaymy senses were releasedfrom feelings of my own.My mind had found a surer way:a knowledge of unknowing,rising beyond all science. -St. John of the CrossPlease consider supporting:https://www.patreon.com/benjaminbennetthttps://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=XKY2S8J49Y6NL

The madness of loveIs a blessed fate;And if we understood thisWe would seek no other:It brings into unityWhat was divided,And this is the truth:Bitterness it makes sweet,It makes the stranger a neighbor,And what was lowly it raises on high. -Hadewijch of AntwerpPlease consider supporting:https://www.patreon.com/benjaminbennetthttps://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=XKY2S8J49Y6NL

“In considering the study of physical phenomena, not merely in its bearings on the material wants of life, but in its general influence on the intellectual advancement of mankind, we find its noblest and most important result to be a knowledge of the chain of connection, by which all natural forces are linked together, and made mutually dependent upon each other; and it is the perception of these relations that exalts our views and ennobles our enjoyments.”― Alexander von Humboldt, COSMOS: A Sketch of the Physical Description of the Universe, Vol. 1Please consider supporting:https://www.patreon.com/benjaminbennetthttps://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=XKY2S8J49Y6NL

“Grace transforms our failings full of dread into abundant, endless comfort … our failings full of shame into a noble, glorious rising … our dying full of sorrow into holy, blissful life. …. Just as our contrariness here on earth brings us pain, shame and sorrow, so grace brings us surpassing comfort, glory, and bliss in heaven … And that shall be a property of blessed love, that we shall know in God, which we might never have known without first experiencing woe.”― Julian of Norwich, Revelations of Divine LovePlease consider supporting:https://www.patreon.com/benjaminbennetthttps://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=XKY2S8J49Y6NL

“The marvelous logic of the mad which seems to mock that of the logicians because it resembles it so exactly, or rather because it is exactly the same, and because at the secret heart of madness, at the core of so many errors, so many absurdities, so many words and gestures without consequence, we discover, finally, the hidden perfection of a language.”― Michel Foucault, Madness and Civilization: A History of Insanity in the Age of ReasonPlease consider supporting:https://www.patreon.com/benjaminbennetthttps://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=XKY2S8J49Y6NL

"The world is not divided into stand-alone entities. It is we who divide it into objects for our convenience. A mountain chain is not divided into individual mountains: it is we who divide it up into parts that strike us as in some way separate. A countless number of out definitions, perhaps all of them, are relational: a mother is a mother because she has a child; a planet is a planet because it orbits a star; a predator is such because it hunts prey; a position in space is there only in relation to something else. Even time exists only as a set of relations."-Carlo Rovelli, HelgolandPlease consider supporting:https://www.patreon.com/benjaminbennetthttps://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=XKY2S8J49Y6NL

“When we look outside of that on which we depend we ignore our unity; looking outward we see many faces; look inward and all is one head.
