"Your inner landscape is richer than your outer landscape, no matter how magnificent the sunrise you are seeing might be, or how awesome the night sky above you, or how turbulent the ocean rushing toward you. It is more diverse, more meaningful.
It is your inner landscape that gives meaning to your outer landscape. A golden sunset does not fill you with appreciation. Your inner landscape does.
When you mistake the circumstances that you encounter in your outer landscape for the experiences of your inner landscape, you miss the point entirely."
~Gary Zukav "The Heart of the Soul"
