Dig Quotes

“The desert and the ocean are realms of desolation on the surface.

The desert is a place of bones, where the innards are turned out, to desiccate into dust.

The ocean is a place of skin, rich outer membranes hiding thick juicy insides, laden with the soup of being.

Inside out and outside in. These are worlds of things that implode or explode, and the only catalyst that determines the direction of eco-movement is the balance of water.

Both worlds are deceptive, dangerous. Both, seething with hidden life.

The only veil that stands between perception of what is underneath the desolate surface is your courage.

Dare to breach the surface and sink.”
― Vera Nazarian, The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration

“One of the greatest evils is the foolishness of a good man.

Every time your hope gets stuck in the deeps,
And you wonder just how you'd get through the sail-

Is an anchor of great strength and fortitude
Keep digging until you find it...
And when you do,
RISE!”
― Chinonye J. Chidolue

“What would have made [seeing Göbekli Tepe from Harran] easier, in antiquity, would have been a tall tower annexed to the temple that once stood here--a temple dedicated toSu-En(usually contracted toSin), the Moon God of the Sabians.
