Quote by Herman Hesse

It was as if all of the happiness, all of the magic of this blissful hour had flowed together into these stirring, bittersweet tones and flowed away, becoming temporal and transitory once more.

It was as if all of the happiness, all of the magic of this

Summary

This quote describes a powerful moment of happiness and magic that seems to culminate in a beautiful sound or melody. However, the quote also conveys a sense of fleetingness and transience, as if that momentary joy is bound to fade away. It suggests that happiness and magic cannot be captured or preserved indefinitely; they are ephemeral experiences that can only be cherished in the present moment.

What you encounter, recognize or discover depends to a large

What you encounter, recognize or discover depends to a large degree on the quality of your approach. Many of the ancient cultures practiced careful rituals of approach. An encounter of depth and spirit was preceded by careful preparation.When we approach with reverence, great things decide to approach us. Our real life comes to the surface and its light awakens the concealed beauty in things. When we walk on the earth with reverence, beauty will decide to trust us. The rushed heart and arrogant mind lack the gentleness and patience to enter that embrace.

See what's inside a drop of water. The whole seed of the universe. Come, come. See what's inside a drop of blood. The composition of life. It's all there. Hate as well. We approach the mystery of life, but it's impossible to understand the mystery of hate. The kind of hate that causes people not only to kill, but to want to erase you from the census of births. I have to concentrate on that mystery. Read everything there is. It has to be in a drop of blood. It has to have its chemistry.
