Quote by Pip Williams

“Was I better? Before Shropshire I'd felt broken, as though I would fall should the scaffold of my work be removed. I didn't feel that now, but there was a fine crack through the middle of me, and I suspected it might never mend. I remembered Lizzie apologising to Mrs Lloyd the first time she stayed to chat, for the chip in the cup. 'A chip doesn't stop it from holding tea,' Mrs Lloyd had said.”

“Are you in seach of security? Do you desire to be secure in your relationships, in your career, in your money matters, or any other aspect of your life? Then you are in search of the impossible. Change and insecurity is the very soul of life. Every thing that is alive changes ALL the time. Change means insecurity. Change means moving from the known to the unknown. And the base of all insecurity is the need to cling to the known. The outer world is always changing. That which is unchangeable, untouchable, is within you. It never changes no matter what happens in the outer world. So if you are looking for a place to stand, to be secure, to be safe, what you are looking for is already within you. Stand firm within the Untouchable presence of your own Being.”

“Enlightenment is not for the one who wants to experience continuous states of bliss and comfortability in order to feel liberated….. Enlightenment is for the one who is willing to have their view of life and sense of self be turned upside down and is not afraid to be consumed by the truth.”
