~ Fear is a question: What are you afraid of, and why? Just as the seed of health is in illness, because illness contains information, your fears are a treasure house of self-knowledge if you explore them. ~ ~ Stillness and steadiness of features are signal marks of good breeding. Vulgar persons can't sit still, or at least must always work their limbs and features. ~ ~ People who cannot find time for recreation are obliged sooner or later to find time for illness. ~ ~ Neurotics complain of their illness, but they make the most of it, and when it comes to talking it away from them they will defend it like a lioness her young. ~ ~ Illness is the most heeded of doctors: to goodness and wisdom we only make promises; pain we obey. ~ ~ Depression is a treatable medical illness like cancer and heart disease. ~ ~ In peace there's nothing so becomes a man as modest stillness and humility. ~ ~ The real sign of serenity is not seen so much in the face, as found in the depth and stillness of the eyes. ~ ~ To be too conscious is an illness. A real thorough going illness. ~ ~ An illness is like a journey into a far country; it sifts all one's experience and removes it to a point so remote that it appears like a vision. ~ ~ To safeguard one's health at the cost of too strict a diet is a tiresome illness indeed. ~ ~ The modern sympathy with invalids is morbid. Illness of any kind is hardly a thing to be encouraged in others. ~ ~ The denial of suffering is, in fact a better definition of illness than its acceptance. ~ ~ Mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of, but stigma and bias shame us all. ~ ~ The more serious the illness, the more important it is for you to fight back, mobilizing all your resources-spiritual, emotional, intellectual, physical. ~ ~ For each illness that doctors cure with medicine, they provoke ten in healthy people by inoculating them with the virus that is a thousand times more powerful than any microbe: the idea that one is ill. ~ ~ Illness is the doctor to whom we pay most heed; to kindness, to knowledge, we make promise only; pain we obey. ~ ~ Illness has always brought me nearer to a state of grace. ~ ~ For each illness that doctors cure with medicine, they provoke ten in healthy people by inoculating them with the virus that is a thousand times more powerful than any microbe: the idea that one is ill. ~ ~ As I have said before, the ever more sophisticated weapons piling up in the arsenals of the wealthiest and the mightiest can kill the illiterate, the ill, the poor and the hungry, but they cannot kill ignorance, illness, poverty or hunger ~ ~ In the mountain, stillness surges up to explore its own height; In the lake, movement stands still to contemplate its own depth. ~ ~ One final paragraph of advice: Do not burn yourselves out. Be as I am - a reluctant enthusiast... a part-time crusader, a half-hearted fanatic. Save the other half of yourselves and your lives for pleasure and adventure. It is not enough to fight for the land; it is even more important to enjoy it. While you can. While it's still here. So get out there and hunt and fish and mess around with your friends, ramble out yonder and explore the forests, encounter the grizz, climb the mountains, bag the peaks, run the rivers, breathe deep of that yet sweet and lucid air, sit quietly for awhile and contemplate the precious stillness, that lovely, mysterious and awesome space. Enjoy yourselves, keep your brain in your head and your head firmly attached to the body, the body active and alive, and I promise you this one sweet victory over our enemies, over those desk-bound people with their hearts in a safe deposit box and their eyes hypnotized by desk calculators. I promise you this: You will outlive the bastards. ~ ~ To safeguard one's health at the cost of too strict a diet is a tiresome illness indeed. ~ ~ A systemic cleansing and detox is definitely the way to go after each holiday. It is the key to fighting high blood pressure, heart disease, cancer, and other health-related illnesses. ~ ~ Be with your Self in the stillness. Do this often. Just be for a while, even for only a moment. It can change everything. ~ ~ Stillness and steadiness of features are signal marks of good breeding. Vulgar persons can't sit still, or at least must always work their limbs and features. ~ ~ It's been an incredible odyssey to make the journey from a vibrantly healthy person to someone with a chronic illness. ~ ~ My illness is due to my doctor's insistence that I drink milk, a whitish fluid they force down helpless babies. ~ ~ Psychoanalysis is that mental illness for which it regards itself as therapy. ~ ~ Romantic love is mental illness. But it's a pleasurable one. It's a drug. It distorts reality, and that's the point of it. It would be impossible to fall in love with someone that you really saw. ~ |
