Nature Loves Courage
By: Terence Mckenna
Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up. This is the trick. This is what all these teachers and philosophers who really counted, who really touched the alchemical gold, this is what they understood. This is the shamanic dance in the waterfall. This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering it’s a feather bed. And there’s no other way to do it.

First, I feel compelled to offer deep gratitude to Erik Rittenberry for these glimpses into the creative spirit and sublimely different ways of being. So thankful for your writing and your thoughtful offerings of the writing of other luminaries.
Terrence McKenna offers us salvation from the half-dead world, from those who would subdue us, from a lackadaisical reality to one that shines with possibility. Anyone up for a pillow fight?
Erik you consistently reference all my faves. Thank you so much. May the world never forget these people.
