Quote by Alexandra Bracken

“I think.. I just want to look different.' ... 'Is that ridiculous?' Priyanka came toward me, her expression contemplative. 'No, it's not. The only way to live is by following whatever message your heart is beating out for you.' 'Did you read that on a greeting card?' I asked. 'No, on some kind of medication ad,' she admitted, 'but it doesn't make it any less true.' I turned back to the mirror and picked up the scissors again.”

I gestured back that she was the chaperone and the leader of this caper. She gestured to me that I shouldn't argue with her. I gestured to her that I was the one who had gotten us into the house in the first place. She gestured to me that my predecessor knew that the apprentice should never argue with the chaperone or complain and that I might model my own behavior after his. I gestured to her asking what the 'S' stood for in her name, and she replied with a very rude gesture, and I grabbed the statue and tucked it into my vest.”

“We are living through an extraordinary era and face massive upheaval and grave existential threats that are affecting our lives as individuals, in social and work groups, in societies, and increasingly on a global – dare I say even a cosmic – scale. We are caught in turbulent and traumatic times as we transition between the death of the old world order and the uncharted territory of rebirth into something new. Something unknown, uncertain, frightening or even threatening to many of us. [From Preface]”

“This is how one ought to see," I repeated yet again. And I might have added, "These are the sort of things one ought to look at." Things without pretensions, satisfied to be merely themselves, sufficient in their suchness, not acting a part, not trying, insanely, to go it alone, in isolation from the Dharma-Body, in Luciferian defiance of the grace of God.”
