Nina Fitzpatrick Quotation

We are born with a destiny.

The destiny is bliss,

absolute, sensuous, blissful,

carnal knowledge of the universe,

fleshly union with all things.

to feel your bare feet

and the winds long to play

It is a surprising and memorable,

do we begin to find ourselves, and realize where we are
and the infinite extent of our relations.

than the void between the stars,

and before and after,

I have wandered all my life,
and I have also traveled;

that we wander for distraction,

but we travel for fulfillment.

... Newton's law, a single mathematical formula

corresponding to an eternal truth

unfolding toward a tautological future.

The necessary thing is great, inner solitude.

What goes on inwardly is worthy of your love.
