“Love is all around you like the air and is the very breath of your being.”
Knowing Yourself: The True in the False (1996)
Context: Love is all around you like the air and is the very breath of your being. But you cannot know it, feel its unfeeling touch, until you pause in your busy-ness, are still and poised and empty of your wanting and desiring. When at rest the air is easily offended and will flee even from the fanning of a leaf, as love flees from the first thought. But when the air or love moves of its own accord it is a hurricane that drives all before it.
“You don’t protest air pollution by holding your breath.”
Ron English's Fauxlosophy (2016)
Variant: I can choose either to be a victim of the world or an adventurer in search of treasure. It's all a question of how I view my life.
