We are the water flowing through our own veins and within each of our cells. We are the energy tingling in our chests and limbs. We are the present moment. We are our ancestors and our descendants. We are the ripples left on this Earth, and thus, we are the Earth.”

“Reality is a dance, and this dance is not predictable or knowable. There is no prescribed fate. Reality is a live experiment. There’s no reverse, pause, or forward—only the present moment’s flux. There seems to be a spiral rhythm and an inner order, even if our limited understandings do not reveal them completely to us.”
