How sweet the morning air is! see how that one little cloud floats like a pink feather from some gigantic flamingo. now the red rim of the sun pushes itself over the london cloud-bank. it shines on a good many folk, but on none, i dare bet, who are on a stranger errand than you and i. how small we feel with our petty ambitions and strivings in the presence of the great elemental forces of nature!

Sweet Morning Ambition
Does the sun ask itself, "am i good? am i worthwhile? is there enough of me?" no, it burns and it shines. does the sun ask itself, "what does the moon think of me? how does mars feel about me today?" no it burns, it shines. does the sun ask itself, "am i as big as other suns in other galaxies?" no, it burns, it shines.
Moon Thinking Shining
I always tell this story: when i started, the woman went to the store to buy a dress. she saw it in pink and red, and then she remembered that the husband, who is probably going to pay for the dress, loves it in pink. so she buys the pink. today, the same woman goes to the store and remembers the husband likes pink, and she buys the red.

The sun is a huntress young, the sun is a red, red joy, the sun is an indian girl, of the tribe of the illinois. the sun is a smouldering fire, that creeps through the high gray plain, and leaves not a bush of cloud to blossom with flowers of rain. the sun is a wounded deer, that treads pale grass in the skies, shaking his golden horns, flashing his baleful eyes. the sun is an eagle old, there in the windless west. atop of the spirit-cliffs he builds him a crimson nest.

The gigantic catastrophes that threaten us today are not elemental happenings of a physical or biological order, but psychic events. to a quite terrifying degree we are threatened by wars and revolutions which are nothing other than psychic epidemics. at any moment several million human beings may be smitten with a new madness, and then we shall have another world war or devastating revolution. instead of being at the mercy of wild beasts, earthquakes, landslides, and inundations, modern man is battered by the elemental forces of his own psyche.
