Quote by Bill Meissner

“Sometimes when Estelle looked into her crystal ball, she might envision tears or a smile. She might hear laughter, or the song of a bird, or the voice of silence. The world: ugly or beautiful, was there, and it spoke to her, through her. Most times, she was convinced that she didn’t see the world; maybe it was the world that saw her.”

“Kalian sama sekali tidak sama dengan mawarku, kalian belum apa-apa,' katanya kepada mereka. 'Kalian belum dijinakkan siapapun, dan kalian belum menjinakkan siapapun. Kalian seperti rubahku dulu. Hanya seekor rubah yang serupa dengan seratus ribu rubah lain. Tapi sudah kujadikan temanku, maka dia satu-satunya di dunia.' Bunga-bunga mawar merasa malu. 'Kalian cantik tapi hampa,' katanya lagi. 'Orang tidak akan mau mati bagi kalian. Bunga mawarku, bagi orang sembarangan, tentu mirip dengan kalian. Tapi ia setangkai lebih penting dari kalian semua, karena dialah yang telah kusirami. Karena dialah yang kuletakkan di bawah sungkup. Karena dialah yang kulindungi dengan penyekat. Karena dialah yang kubunuh ulat-ulatnya (kecuali dua-tiga untuk kupu-kupu). Karena dialah yang kudengarkan keluhannya, bualannya, atau malah kadang-kadang kebisuannya. Karena dialah mawarku.”

“Perception Language, like awe, is novel and requires cognitive accommodation - a different way of seeing and making sense of ourselves and the world. Some of the highlights are • Keep the conversation in the present. • Remove blame and praise from every conversation. • Understand that we are the source of our feelings.”
