Legacy

Unfairly underrated. Such fertile psychological territory, but what else can you expect? It bears the mark of its creator.

You should blame yourself for what you’ve done to your son.

To improve on nature, my nature, knowledge of oneself, it’s the only path to the truth that give men the power to go beyond God’s boundaries.

All you’ve given Bruce is fear, fear of life.

Fear, perhaps Miss Ross, and loneliness, too. Yes, I feel them both.

But I was curious, and that was my downfall. And as I watched this tiny life unfold, I began to imagine the horror of it, and my curiosity was replaced with compassion.

I remember that day so well, every moment, every sensation.

You cannot imagine the unbearable finality of it. And in that one moment, I took everything that was dear to me, and transformed it into nothing more than a memory.

Nature And Grace

Yes, something very special.

“Father, mother, always you wrestle inside me, always you will.”

There are two ways through life, the way of nature and the way of grace. You have to choose which one you’ll follow.

Grace doesn’t try to please itself, accepts being slighted, forgotten, disliked, accepts insults and injuries. Nature only wants to please itself, get others to please it too, likes to lord it over them, to have its own way. It finds reasons to be unhappy when all the world is shining around it, when love is smiling through all things.

The Psychology of Nature

By Jonah Lehrer of Wired:

I sometimes wonder if, when we look back at the mass cognitive mistakes of the 21st century, we’ll worry less about the internet and multitasking – people have been multitasking forever – and instead fret about our turn away from nature. The human species is urbanizing at an unprecedented rate. (In the next century, at least 3 billion people will migrate to cities.) And yet, we’re only beginning to understand how living in dense agglomerations of perfect strangers, surrounded by skyscrapers and concrete, actually effects the brain. This work on ecopsychology is an important start.
