Nicola Green told me. “It’s wrong to be prescriptive: we have to trust people’s judgment.”
Translation: When you are young, you have raw smarts; when you are old, you have wisdom. When you are young, you can generate lots of facts; when you are old, you know what they mean and how to use them.
From Strength to Strength
Brooks, Arthur C.
We imagine that we are living a life—our life—as if life and who we are exist as two separate entities. But in fact, there is only one thing: we are inseparable from this thing we call life; we ourselves are life, part of its river. Consider for a moment: What if you are part of life rather than the one living it? What if there’s no separate you and it? What if what you consider you, that is, all your thoughts and sensations, is also something arising in the larger consciousness? Feel what this contemplation stirs in your body. Walk with it, live with it.
