∞

Even in the face of the sweeping away of all that I assumed to be permanent, I did not break.  The shattering of my certainties did not shatter me.  Stability comes from inside, not outside.  – Lucille Clifton

Any significant long-term change requires long-term practice, whether that change has to do with playing the violin or learning to be a more open, loving person.  We all know people who say that they have been permanently changed by experiences of a moment or a day or a weekend.  But when you check it out you’ll generally discover that those who ended up permanently changed had spent considerable time preparing for their life-changing experience or had continued diligently practicing the new behaviour afterward.  ― Michael Murphy and George Leonard

 ∞

Global transformation can occur only when each individual has the courage to awaken from this amnesia to our true self and then make conscious choices true to our spirit. The human race is the only species on earth evolved enough to be capable of this privilege.   ― Patsie Smith

 Awareness of impermanence is encouraged, so that when it is coupled with our appreciation of the enormous potential of our human existence, it will give us a sense of urgency that I must use every precious moment.
