大小

Thus from (ab•scintilla)

Mother Nature γαῖᾰ, gaîa, “the Earth”

The old people came literally to love the soil and they sat or reclined on the ground with a feeling of being close to a mothering power. It was good for the skin to touch the earth and the old people liked to remove their moccasins and walk with bare feet on the sacred earth. Their tipis were built upon the earth and their altars were made of earth. The birds that flew into the air came to rest upon the earth and it was the final abiding place of all things that lived and grew. The soil was soothing, strengthening, cleansing and healing.

Tyger Tyger burning bright,

In the forests of the night:

What immortal hand or eye,

Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

— 1st strophe of "The Tyger" by William Blake, published in 1794 in Songs of Experience

Art by Juliana Garces

Each man had only one genuine vocation — to find the way to himself... His task was to discover his own destiny — not an arbitrary one — and to live it out wholly and resolutely within himself. Everything else was only a would-be existence, an attempt at evasion, a flight back to the ideals of the masses, conformity and fear of one's own inwardness.

— Demian, Hermann Hesse, p.111

It's beautiful to be alone. To be alone does not mean to be lonely. It means the mind is not influenced or contaminated by society.
