“To change with honor seems terribly difficult. Most people are like weathercocks, turning with every change of wind. They rush from one creed to the next as if change of faith were nothing, and in the end become nothing themselves. In a Time of revolution, our own volition contributes very little to our change. Volition and intention can do very little in a world which makes a principle of changing everyday. Perhaps The real danger in such period comes from our own inertia, which makes us accept all these change stoically but without conviction or personal decision. We cannot really change without a period of waiting and relearning. To change with honor seems to be the paradoxical effort that is asked of us today. It means keeping away from both extrêmes, that of rigid honor which kills the force of progress,and that of a mechanical change which leaves the potentialities of the soul untouched.”

“The healing had to start at the scene of the crime this time, my body. My creature self and my very vehicle for relationship, and memory. Humans aren’t mollusks, man. There’s no hard outer shell to protect the pearl-making. It’s all just soft, fragile skin. So vulnerable we all are. We gotta be so gentle with ourselves.”
