“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field.  I'll meet you there.  
When the soul lies down in that grass the world is too full to talk about.”
​
-- Rumi

"How should we be able to forget those ancient myths that are at the beginning of all peoples, the myths about dragons that at the last moment turn into princesses; perhaps all the dragons of our lives are princesses, who are only waiting to see us once beautiful and brave.  Perhaps everything terrible is in its deepest being something helpless that wants help from us."  -- Rainer Maria Rilke 

"Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom."

"Once upon a time, whiteness protected baby harp seals from predators.  It helped them blend into the snow.  No one could see them.  But hundreds of years ago, whiteness turned against them, when humans gave whiteness another meaning.  Operationalized that whiteness for money and coats.  Maybe they learned something new -- harp seals of that time -- about what a predator would do with the technology of whiteness. 
Thank goodness harp seals know how to let it go.  They stay white for a couple of weeks and then shed all that mess.  Poof.  For a layered existence."

"There is a blind spot in leadership, management and social change.  It is also a blind spot that applies to our everyday social experience.  The blind spot concerns the inner place -- the source -- from which we operate when we act, communicate, perceive or think.  We can see what to do (results).  We can see how we do it (process).  But we usually are not aware of the who:  the inner place or source from which we operate." 
​
-- C. Otto Scharmer, The Essentials of Theory U

“Furthermore, we have not even to risk the adventure alone, for the heroes of all time have gone before us.  The labyrinth is thoroughly known.  We have only to follow the thread of the hero path, and where we had thought to find an abomination, we shall find a god.  And where we had thought to slay another, we shall slay ourselves.  Where we had thought to travel outward, we will come to the center of our own existence.  And where we had thought to be alone, we will be with all the world."
-- Joseph Campbell

“A self is not something static, tied up in a pretty parcel and handed to the child, finished and complete.
