It's time to question a job or career move when it seems like most energy is devoted to making things appear other than what they really are.

You will begin to realize that if you contemplate long enough on the leaf of the flower, that it involves the whole universe.

For every individual is a unique manifestation of the Whole, as every branch is a particular outreaching of the tree.

You are a function of what the whole universe is doing in the same way that a wave is a function of what the whole ocean is doing.
