"Give me my heart. Let it pump again life's power in me. Infuse my hands and feet with spirit. Give me my heart. Let me rise and walk. I am quickened. No more sleep, no more dream. No more death."

Normandi Ellis, Awakening Osiris, 2009.

"To have faith is to trust yourself to the water. When you swim, you don't grab hold of the water, because if you do you will sink and drown. Instead you relax and float."

Alan Watts
