I love quotes. As a teenager I kept a quote book to collect the words that 'spoke to me' (mostly quotes about love, inspiration and wisdom .. I note looking back).
Words have a power over us.
I first read James Allen's As a Man Thinketh when I was a teenager. I have it still in my bookcase.
Later I read that the Buddha also spoke .. "we are what we think. all that we are arises with our thoughts. with our thoughts, we make the world.".
I have taken this quote today from the journal of my teenage years a reminder of the potency of our thoughts. In meditation we rest in stillness and (sometimes) hear the quiet whisper of our thoughts, never heard before.
A reminder that our dreams are the 'seedlings of realities' and the very beautiful words ..
'in the highest vision of the soul a waking angel stirs'
