Quote by Steven Pinker

“En la práctica, consumismo significa con frecuencia -consumo por parte de los demás-, pues las élites que lo condenan tienden a ser ellas mismas consumidoras conspicuas de lujos exorbitantes como libros de tapa dura, buena comida y buen vino, representaciones artísticas en directo, viajes al extranjero y educación en instituciones prestigiosas para sus hijos.”

“It wasn't until a burst of hot flame caressed my left hip that a tingling sensation, not unlike magic, crawled down my skin. Ryker gave a low chuckle. "Of course it's on your perfect ass." I craned my neck to see. Across my hip and indeed partially down my backside until it brushed the very top of the back of my leg, a pattern was revealed just a few shades darker than my skin. It was like having a lighter sort of henna painted across my hip in the design of scales. Dragon scales. "What is that?" I asked, startled. "The mark. My mark." Ryker mused. "The perfect match to my scale pattern, not repeated in any other dragon." Brushing my fingers over the skin, it didn't feel any different than it had before. It was just decorated now. My preferred black dresses would always cover it up, but my mind wandered to my closet and exactly what I owned that would show off a flash of scales at my hip. I needed to go shopping. "So, it was always there?" "Always," Ryker answered, a new sort of interest in his eyes. "How does your chest feel?" I rubbed a hand where the thrumming usually sat, but found it was gone. I had been so distracted by the process of being covered in fire and his taunting hands that didn't burn me that I hadn't noticed when it left. "I always knew I liked your ass," Ryker said. I frowned. "It's on my hip," I insisted. Ryker took one hand and smacked my left cheek, firmly on the mark. Immediately a delicious heat shot through it, running straight between my legs where I twitched in anticipation. Fuck. "What's the matter, Danica?" Ryker teased out my full name again, leaning down to meet my neck with a kiss.”

“A chakra is defined as a tightly coiled, multidimensional center of energy, much like the spiraling structure of DNA, containing the potential for vast transformation and growth. Just as DNA holds the blueprint for the physical expression of life, each chakra contains the intricate design for the unfolding of an individual’s physical, psychological, energetic, and spiritual evolution.”
