Quote by Olga Werby

I began to notice that my words and perceptions were inextricably linked, so as the words changed and my perceptions were also shifting (and vice versa, I imagine), and this led to more changes in language to better reflect this continually emerging felt-sense experience while encouraging it to deepen further as well--a beautiful circle of transformation. Slowly, slowly I found myself moving away from a more judgmental, analytical, disembodied, left-shifted viewpoint toward a more open, curious, accepting way of being that emerges when right-hemisphere processes take the lead.”

It wasn’t the same, but it was also true. She surprised him by saying, ‘I’ve never understood why you studied law.’ She picked up her coffee and took a sip. ‘I’m not sure I do either.’ ‘Do you regret it?’ He shook his head. ‘No, the law is beautiful. It’s like building a cathedral.’ ‘You’ve lost me,’ Paola said with a smile.”
