Francis of Assisi
Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.
Pilgrimage to Eternity
Tim Egan
Wakefulness or enlightenment can be reasonably defined as appreciating the mystery of life in the present moment, while knowing it is the only 'thing' there is. Wakefulness’ opposite – the dissatisfaction brought about by reactive emotions and alienating desire – can be reasonably defined as the futile attempt to ‘get something out of life.’ We can not get anything out of life. There is no outside where we could take this thing to. There is no little pocket situated outside of life, which would steal life’s provisions and squirrel them away. The life of this moment has no outside.

Other work has shown that while the ability of light to produce a phase advance contributes to its clinical efficacy, this is not limited to subjects who are phase delayed to start with. Rather, it is the size of the phase advance relative to one's sleep rhythm that is most important, with the optimal response achieved with light given 8.5 hours after melatonin onset or 2.5 hours after the sleep midpoint, defined as the midpoint between sleep onset and time of awakening.[Cit](https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.31887/DCNS.2007.9.3/rlevitan?scroll=top&needAccess=true#)
