| “Flexibility is defined as being adaptable to change. In the course of your lifetime, you will be tempted to try to hold on to what is, when in fact, what is is only a temporary phase that evolves almost immediately into what was. It is essential that you learn to bend and flex around every new circumstance, as rigidity robs you of the opportunity to see the freedom of new possibilities. In order to truly embrace your role as a student of life, you need to cultivate the ability to move easily from “knowingness” to “not-knowingness”, which in turn moves you from master to student again and again.” -Cherie Carter-Scott |

It holds my water admirably and it glistens in the sunlight. One day the wind may blow it off the shelf, or my elbow may knock it from the table. I know this glass is already broken, so I enjoy it incredibly.” -Achaan Chah Subato |
