Join 📚 Christian Champ's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Christian's read, .
Nothing Changes One Thing at a Time Emergence is how life changes, never from just a single cause, but from a complexity of many causes and parts interacting. Life is messy, a reality we continue to deny.
Reductionism, being so simple, is much more appealing; I think this is why we continue to use it.
So Far From Home

From a meditative point of view, the art of conversation is an engagement in mindfulness and, therefore, being present. Mindfulness is the act of noticing. It is not engaging in like or dislike; it is paying attention to being alive. Mindfulness begins with awareness of feeling. In Hinayana Buddhism, good conversation is right speech: not lying, not slandering, not causing disharmony, not gossiping. In Mahayana Buddhism, it is the open heart and mind that comes from the way we consider how others feel.

“Impatience is an argument with reality… Patience begins with acceptance of natural rhythms. The implied benefit of impatience is to save time by speeding up and skipping ahead of those rhythms. Paradoxically, this ends up taking more time and using more energy.” ~Rick Rubin
