Quotes from Jon Anderson

As a consequence of the constant production of traces, places become dynamic entities; they are in fluid states of transition as new traces react with existing or older ones to change the meaning and identity of the location. It is argued here, therefore, that places should be understood as ongoing compositions of traces.

These trace-chains are also significant as they may motivate similar actions in other places.

This is love that surrounds, only a fool without wisdom can see. Blind as I am in your eyes, my lady of dreams.

We're still growing into that place of higher consciousness; we are becoming a global conscience. The idea is to unravel the onion and let go of the ego and evolve to that place where you perceive everything to be a beautiful experience rather than a daunting experience.

You think life is a beautiful thing, and you've got to live accordingly. You've got to magnify all your better feelings and better urges and better conscious ideas, and that's your life's evolvement.
