"When I consider the small span of my life absorbed in the eternity of all time, or the small part of space which I can touch or see engulfed by the infinite immensity of spaces that I know not and that know me not, I am frightened and astonished to see myself here instead of there... now instead of then."
Blaise Pascal (1623 - 1662) _________________ www.metapleroma.org - MetaPleroma.org - discussions on sacred sexuality, art, poetry, philosophy, psychology, metaphysics and more |
