"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Forces.


There are those special secret moments in our lives when we smile unexpectedly -- when all our forces are resolved. When we know these moments, when we smile, when we are not on guard at all -- these are the moments when our most important forces show themselves.  Whatever it is you are doing at such a moment, hold on to it, repeat it, for that certain smile is the best knowledge that we ever have of what our hidden forces are, and where they lie, and how they can be loosed.
