We are told we must choose — the old or the new. In fact, we must
choose both. What is a life if not a series of negotiations between the
old and the new? It seems to me that one should always be seeking to
talk oneself out of these stark oppositions.

To relate oneself in the spirit of reverence for life to the multiform
manifestations of the will-to-live which together constitute the world
is ethical mysticism.
All profound world-view is mysticism, the essence of which is just this: that out of my unsophisticated and naïveexistence in the world there comes, as a result of thought about self
and the world, spiritual self-devotion to the mysterious infinite Will which is continuously manifested in the universe.
