Quotes:
• Life is a moving, breathing thing. We have to be willing to constantly evolve. Perfection is constant transformation. — Virenia “Nia” Peeples (1961-) American singer & actress
• Changing is not just changing the things outside of us. First of all, we need the right view that transcends all notions including of being and non-being, creator and creature, mind and spirit. That kind of insight is crucial for transformation and healing. — Thich Nhat Hanh [born Nguyễn Xuân Bảo] (1926–2022) Vietnamese monk & author
Comment:
• There are sudden but mostly subtle transformations. Leavening takes time to modify the mindset it is added to.
• The oldest, most fundamental, needs have always been around: food, shelter, companionship, love, etc. How we manifest them have been transforming ever since. Add new elements, features, qualities and they have new appeal.
