“She was elusive. She was today. She was tomorrow. She was the faintest scent of a cactus flower, the flitting shadow of an elf owl. We did not know what to make of her. In our minds we tried to pin her to a corkboard like a butterfly, but the pin merely went through and away she flew.”

“What kind of idea are you? Are you the kind that compromises, does deals, accomodates itself to society, aims to find a niche, to survive; or are you the cussed, bloody-minded, ramrod-backed type of damnfool notion that would rather break than sway with the breeze? – The kind that will almost certainly, ninety-nine times out of hundred, be smashed to bits; but, the hundredth time, will change the world.”

“Today, I am aware of feelings of frustration, and recognize them as the result of resistance to What Is. I tenderly cradle these feelings in my arms, saying, “Dearest Frustration, I hear you. I understand you,” as I breathe deeply. I see how self-kindness gently returns my awareness to the present moment.”
