As much horror as we have always created, we are a species that keeps moving forward, seeing new sights in new ways, and enjoying the journey.
From Martha Beck
Children who assume adult responsibilities feel old when they're young.
I majored in Chinese. I was never really good at Chinese but I really, really benefited from having been exposed to Asian philosophy early in my life.
People are so afraid of authority figures and doctors are authority figures.
The position that I take partly as a result of living in Asia is where you stop living according to your expectations and you become available to experience things as they are.
Use anything you can think of to understand and be understood, and you'll discover the creativity that connects you with others.
What laughter is to childhood, sex is to adolescence.
Anything you're trying to will is focused on the future; it's always associated with some sort of anxiety that makes the present moment somewhat uncomfortable.
Bracketing has turned all my experiences, remembered and present, into a gallery of miracles where I wander around dazzled by the beauty of events I cannot explain.
As soon as you think you know someone else's truth better than they do, you are in deep water.
