The ordinary acts we practice every day at home are of more importance to the soul than their simplicity might suggest.
Thomas MooreAnd the heart that is soonest awake to the flowers
Is always the first to be touched by the thorns.
Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.

The devil...the prowde spirite...cannot endure to be mocked.
Thomas MooreIt's important to be heroic, ambitious, productive, efficient, creative, and progressive, but these qualities don't necessarily nurture soul. The soul has different concerns, of equal value: downtime for reflection, conversation, and reverie; beauty that is captivating and pleasuring; relatedness to the environs and to people; and any animal’s rhythm of rest and activity.

The ordinary arts we practice every day at home are of more importance to the soul than their simplicity might suggest.
Thomas MooreThough the last glimpse of Erin with sorrow I see,
Yet wherever thou art shall seem Erin to me;
In exile thy bosom shall still be my home,
And thine eyes make my climate wherever we roam.
Education is not the piling on of learning, information, data, facts, skills, or abilities--that's training or instruction--but is rather a making visible what is hidden as a seed...
To be educated, a person doesn't have to know much or be informed, but he or she does have to have been exposed vulnerably to the transformative events of an engaged human life...
One of the greatest problems of our time is that many are schooled but few are educated.
I feel like one
Who treads alone
Some banquet-hall deserted,
Whose lights are fled,
Whose garland's dead,
And all but he departed!
I have plenty of machinery around me; what I really need is a more enchanting world in which to live and work.
