PERFECT Dragon

Our deepest fears are like dragons guarding our deepest treasures.
Rainer Maria Rilke

PERFECT Psychic

Here's a shout out in honor of the passing of Paul, the psychic octopus:

Octopuses are smart. They can be readily trained to distinguish between different shapes and patterns. They have been observed practicing observational learning and playing. They often break of their aquariums and into others in search of food. They have even boarded fishing boats and opened holds to eat crabs.

The octopus is the only invertebrate which has been conclusively shown to use tools.

If they lived longer than their average 4 years, can you imagine how smart they would be?

PERFECT Fitzgerald

If you're strong enough there are no precedents.
F. Scott Fitzgerald

PERFECT Medicine

The art of medicine consists of amusing the patient while nature cures the disease.
Voltaire

PERFECT Sense 3

Every advance in culture is, psychologically, an extension of consciousness that can take place only through discrimination. Therefore an advance always begins with individuation, that is to say with the individual, conscious of her isolation, cutting a new path through hither to untrodden territory. To do this she must first return to the fundamental facts of her own being, irrespective of authority and tradition, and allow herself to become conscious of her distinctiveness. If she succeeds in giving collective validity to her widened consciousness, she creates a tension of opposites that provides the stimulation which culture needs for its further purpose.
Carl Jung

PERFECT Waldo

The great majority of men (women) are bundles of beginnings.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
