Admiring the World

When down under gravity,
consider these uplifting quotations:

"Stand up straight. Admire the world."
--John Cheever

"Keep a green tree in your heart and
perhaps a singing bird will nest in it."
--Chinese proverb

"Self-pity is not box-office."
Hollywood proverb

"We have no right to have no hope,

because if we have no hope,
there is no hope."
--Jacques Monot

"Noble deeds and hot baths are
the best cures for depression."
--Dodie Smith

"True serenity comes
after knowledge of pain."
--Marya Mannes

"Anything awful makes me laugh.
I misbehaved once at a funeral."
--Charles Lamb

"No life that breathes with human breath
has ever truly longed for death."
--Lord Tennyson

"Surviving meant being born over and over."
--Erica Jong

"It's never too late to have a happy childhood."
--Tom Robbins

What Antigravity Is & Is Not

Antigravity is a mystery,

but it is not mysticism.

For unlike the revelations
that are accorded to mystics,
Antigravity can readily be
conveyed in words and images,
all sorts of words and images.

Antigravity is able to continue

one of the world's greatest traditions
because the Word still dwells
among us and lifts us up in spite
of our dismal materialism.

The promise of this blog is that it can raise us into a realm of spirit that we haven't glimpsed in a very long time (perhaps not since childhood), for Antigravity is neither a fantasy nor an illusion.

Its light and hope possess more reality than the earth beneath our feet, and though we may be tempted to believe that magic has escaped from the world, humanity can radiate the supernatural and the beautiful as much now as ever before, and with a little effort on our part we can rise above gravity--even if our efforts are confined to reading the words on this screen and absorbing the lessons of the images presented here.
