Dieter F. UchtdorfIt is our inward journey that leads us through time โ forward or back, seldom in a straight line, most often spiraling. Each of us is moving, changing, with respect to others.

Our individual life is an expression of the whole mystery, and in it we can rest in the center of the movement, the center of all worlds.
Jack KornfieldRene Char wrote somewhere, apropos poetry, that there are those who create and those who discover; they are too completely different worlds.

Deepak ChopraPhilosophy attempts, not to discover new truths about the world, but to gain a clear view of what we already know and believe about it.

Some of the monsters were people we knew. People we thought we could trust.

You can tell so much of a story with stillness, and a lot of that can be from really actively listening to your scene partner.
