a magnificent intensity QUOTES

1 " We shouldn’t deny ourselves the joyful, peaceful delight in continuing to look up at the glorious, starlit sky. One simply cannot deny its beauty; but I insist that, as you do, remember that you too are a star, a supernova. You emit a magnificent intensity of your own. Not only can you look up, you can look within and be astonished at the glory and splendor of your own being.

You shine with your own light. Let it shine! Let it shine! Let it shine! "

― Mishi McCoy

2 " I wish I could describe the feeling of being at sea, the anguish, frustration, and fear, the beauty that accompanies threatening spectacles, the spiritual communion with creatures in whose domain I sail. There is a magnificent intensity in life that comes when we are not in control but are only reacting, living, surviving. I am not a religious man per se. My own cosmology is convoluted and not in line with any particular church or philosphy. But for me, to go to sea is to glimpse the face of God. At sea i am reminded of my insignificance-- of all men's insignificance. It is a wonderful feeling to be so humbled. "
