Hoping to effect some positive change in your life in a time to come is like spending all your time obsessing over your neighbor's garden and then wondering why your own is overrun with weeds!...

Real life is revelation. There is no moment in which something isn't stirring us in a constant kind of disturbance for the purpose of revealing both what we are and what we can be.
