Modern life is given over to immoderation. Immoderation invades everything: actions and thought, public and private life.
Avocation Quotes : pic 000316386
In violence there is often the quality of yearning - the yearning for completion. For closure. For that which is absent and would if present bring to fulfillment. For the body without which the wing is a useless frozen ornament. ("A Short Guide To The City")
Avocation Quotes : pic 001068740

We commute to computers;
Spirits stay mute while you eagles spread rumors.
We survivalists, turned to consumers ...
Avocation Quotes : pic 000417439
Activating is about changing people's perceptions of overlooked or invisible spaces. A building can become an archetype, invisible, like for a New Yorker, for example, the Statue of Liberty. You look at it, and it disappears into the thousands of times you've already seen it.

Avocation Quotes : pic 000150516
Unjustified ambition kills value,
Kills someone else's desire to fly,
Cuts their wings, sucks their air.
If there is nothing else, it eats its own life.
Avocation Quotes : pic 001236617
Adventrue rewrites the routine of our lives and wakes us sharply from the comforts of the familiar. It allows us to see how vast the expanse of our experience. Our ability to grow is no longer linear but becomes unrestricted to any direction we wish to run.
Avocation Quotes : pic 001400651
The stillness and stasis of bed are the perfect opposite of travel: inertia is what I've come to consider the default mode, existentially and electronically speaking. Bed, its utter inactivity, offers a glimpse of eternity, without the drawback of being dead.
Avocation Quotes : pic 001444752
If, sir, men were all virtuous, I should with great alacrity teach them all to fly. But what would be the security of the good if the bad could at pleasure invade them from the sky? Against an army sailing through the clouds neither wall, nor mountains, nor seas could afford any security.

With birds flying around, man's desire for having wings rises to infinite!

Awakening is the purpose that enfolds all purposes.
Avocation Quotes : pic 001414386

Avocation Quotes : pic 000010375
Avian madness or deranged kiwi?
Avocation Quotes : pic 001167745
Awakening is dynamic, Constantly evolving in accordance with life's realities
Avocation Quotes : pic 001460436
There are a thousand ways of inhabiting it, but the aether, that in-between, is always what it is; and ghosts, spirits, the souls of lucid dreamers squeeze past each other in complex asomatic ecology. Who better to close in on Wati the bodiless subversive than bodiless forces of the law?
Avocation Quotes : pic 001073578
You too are an exile, I thought. You morn for the broad open steppes where you have room to spread your icy wings. Here you feel stifled and constricted, like an eagle that cries and beats against the bars of its iron cage.
Avocation Quotes : pic 001543708
The simple bird has the freedom to fly anywhere, and yet here we stay
Avocation Quotes : pic 001706782
The birds had been given everything they needed. A home in the thin, pure air: a moment of weightlessness, a reprieve from the gravity of life
Avocation Quotes : pic 000530765
Birds, it must be admitted, are the most exciting and most deserving of the vertebrates; they are perhaps the best entre into the study of natural history, and a very good wedge into conservation awareness.

where 'falcons of the inner eye'
dive and die, glimpsing in their
dying fall, all life's memory of existence.
Avocation Quotes : pic 000129533

Avocation Quotes : pic 000290725

From the dawn of agriculture until this very day, billions of humans armed with branches, swatters, shoes and poison sprays have waged relentless war against the diligent ants, furtive roaches, adventurous spiders and misguided beetles that constantly infiltrate the human domicile. For

Avocation Quotes : pic 000585216
Owls are nocturnal, swooping down silently, with the soft edges of their feathers muffling the sound of the wings, before pouncing and swallowing their prey whole. Death unseen, death unheard, death from above - the military drones of the animal kingdom

Avocation Quotes : pic 001831445
Abundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune into.
Avocation Quotes : pic 001317688
We are resident inside with the machinery, a glimmering spread throughout the apparatus. We exist with a wind whispering inside and our moon flexing. Amid the ducts, inside the basilica of bones. The flesh is a neighborhood, but not the life.
Avocation Quotes : pic 001371135
Meanwhile, we have carved out a place for ourselves among the dead; the glittering pinnacles of commerce rise along the skyline, their foundations sunk in a charnel house; and the lost lie forgotten below us as, overhead, we persaude ourselves that we are immortal and carry on the business of life.
Avocation Quotes : pic 001057549
And so each venture is a new beginning, a raid on the inarticulate
Avocation Quotes : pic 001511050

When flying dreams hit the soil of reality, all that remains are the imprints of experience.
Avocation Quotes : pic 000487792
Those who awaken never rest in one place. Like swans, they rise and leave the lake. On the air they rise and fly an invisible course. Their food is knowledge. They live on emptiness. They have seen how to break free. Who can follow them?
Avocation Quotes : pic 001373904
The world has different owners at sunrise ... Even your own garden does not belong to you. Rabbits and blackbirds have the lawns; a tortoise-shell cat who never appears in daytime patrols the brick walls, and a golden-tailed pheasant glints his way through the iris spears.

Today, you expand or you are expendable.
Avocation Quotes : pic 000175073

Avocation Quotes : pic 000732824

Avocation Quotes : pic 000095800
By the late 1990s, it was almost as if the Orwellian scenario of the Mac's "1984" commercial had come true. Big Business, with a pair of capital B's, ruled computing. The drones used what they were told.

An aircraft which is used by wealthy people on their expense accounts, whose fares are subsidized by much poorer taxpayers.
Avocation Quotes : pic 001809275
