Inspiration From Novalis / Pollen:

The seat of the soul is there, where the inner and the outer world touch.
Where they permeate each other, the seat is in every point of the permeation.
(13)

To what extent can a human being have a sense for something, if he doesn’t have its embryo inside him? Whatever I come to understand must itself develop organically in myself, and what I seem to learn is only nourishment and cultivation of that inner organism.
(12)

Let the dragon-flies rise; innocent strangers they are,
Follow the twin-star, exulting, with gifts, this way.
(92)

We are bound nearer to the unseen than to the visible.
(524)

Our whole life is a divine service.
(519)

We are at once in and out of nature.
(504)

The inner world is almost more mine than the outer.
It is so heartfelt, so private- man is given fullness in that life- it is so native.
A pity that it is so dreamlike, so precarious.
Must straightness then be best, when the real is such fiction,
and fiction seems so genuine and Real?
(503)

And a wonder has the world begun.
(487)

Everything in the outer world alludes to mysticism. If all humanity were a pair of lovers, then the distinction between mysticism and non-mysticism would all fall away.
(489)

Our soul must be airy, for it knows music, and takes pleasure in it.
(421)
