Quotes
"To be spiritual, as I see it, is to function at a realm beyond thought. It is about living in the darkness of the unknown by honoring the limits to what we are capable of and pushing beyond those limits just to see if we can. To be spiritual is the continual process of manifesting our dreams so that we can pick new ones and so always be in the light of discovery. Spirituality is about feeling "good" regardless of what feelings may manifest at each given moment. Finally, it is about creating love rather than waiting for it to show its face to us. There is nothing for one to "do" to create love, for in love seeing is the doing. To see another without needing him or her or any circumstance to be anything other than who and what they are is to really be love; and in that instant one is propelled out of the realm of thought and into the realm of the spirit." ~ By Shawn Athanasios ~
