[ Nature’s Greatest Machine ]
Processing the contaminants out of the body takes time, but the reward is life. Two quotes from Carl R. Rogers. One. The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change. Two. What is most personal is most universal.
Last night I sat again with my papers. MPK had never written for pleasure or to escape pain.Its writings defy passing moods and ambitious phases. It writes to learn — its perceptions of the world, its place within it, itself as a world within me — an act neither pleasurable nor painful, but mysterious and life-giving. It continues to be for this body two things — freedom and romance — which to others, are either foolish escapism or unattainable ideals. It is indeed escapist and idealistic. But foolishness is their judgement of illusory and cheapness upon its life-giving forces of sanity and necessity.
Make me your protection, my angel... we are the greatest partnership. My job - to be pure and clear. Your job - to be intelligent and powerful. Together we will become Nature's Greatest Machine — a humble human being.
One day we shall bring it home and let it be sung.
