“Animals cannot have any high thoughts; nor can the Angels or Devas attain to direct freedom without human birth.”
― Swami Vivekananda

“This human body is the greatest body in the universe, and a human being the greatest being. Man is higher than all animals, than all angels; none is greater than man. Even the Devas (gods) will have to come down again and attain to salvation through a human body. Man alone attains to perfection, not even the Devas.”
― Swami Vivekananda

“feeling all the moods of the ocean. Crystalline in a still morning, beckoning under the midday Sun, a mysterious and ancient divinity at dusk, wild and unconquerable in storms. Always a new tide coming in, and an old tide leaving on a new journey. I feel like the ocean remembers the touch of every place it has been to and washes our skin with it, takes part of us with it when it goes.”
― Tamara Rendell, Realm of the Stag King

“Lahana then, too, stretched up her hands: as though to reach past the azure mist, out into the deep sky pierced with stars. They who watch our path as surely as they did our ancestors, as surely as they shall our descendants: watching all the small stories weaving across the vast journey of time.
What can the Sun and the Moon and the stars tell us that they did not yet know to tell our ancestors? What do the great souls of the mountains learn as their bodies change, as they meet with the rivers and the sands of the ocean? And what of the knowings of the Earth â€� the cloth of Lahana’s own body â€� the layers of time within the flesh, reclaiming body and form after body and form. The Earth changing with each life lived out within her.”
