âĶI keep looking for one more teacher, only to find that fish learn from the water and birds learn from the sky.â (p.275)
Mark NepoWakefulness is not a destination but a song the human heart keeps singing, the way birds keep singing at the first sign of light.
Mark NepoThere are many ways that we grow, but there are two major ways: We shed what no longer works, or we're broken open. If we're unwilling to shed, then we will be broken open. Through shedding, we are worn down, just as nature is eroded to its beauty. I think that through suffering, human beings are eroded to our beauty.
