“Things are always in transtion, if we could only realize it. Nothing ever sums itself up in the way that we like to dream about. The off-center in-between state is an ideal situation, a situation in which we don’t get caught, and in which we can open our hearts and minds beyond limit… Only to the extent that we expose ourselves over and over to annihilation can that which is indestructible be found in us”
-From “When Things Fall Apart” by Pema Chodron
