“You need your friends to love and support you but you need an enemy to make you accept challenges you otherwise wouldn't, to bring out hidden potentials you didn't even know you had, to force yourself on a path you otherwise wouldn't go. Enemies bring out the best in you. So, if you have enemies, rejoice! You have a fair chance of being more fantastic than you already are. -Emit Eht”

“This is a pale reflection of a deeper truth: that the One who created us holds us with a constancy that does not require our acknowledgment. The thread is not diminished by our forgetting. It is simply waiting for us to turn and recognize it again. To understand this, a person must first recognize the difference between connection and awareness of connection. Awareness rises and falls. It expands in moments of clarity and contracts in moments of confusion. It is shaped by fatigue, fear, distraction, longing, and countless other conditions that have nothing to do with spiritual truth. When awareness fades, the thread seems distant. When awareness returns, the thread seems near. But these impressions describe the state of the perceiver, not the state of the connection itself.”
