“On the geometric level, we see certain physical elements repeated endlessly, combined in an almost endless variety of combinations. It is puzzling to realize that the elements, which seem like elementary building blocks, keep varying, and are different every time that they occur. If the elements are different every time that they occur, evidently then, it cannot be the elements themselves which are repeating in a building or town; these so-called elements cannot be the ultimate "atomic" constituents of space.” IfsDifferentSeemsCertainRealizingSpaceLevelsBuildingElementsUltimateTownsEndlessBlockVarietyCombinationConstituentsBuilding BlocksPuzzlingGeometric Author:Christopher Alexander

“We go into a relationship looking for love, not realizing that we must bring love with us. We must bring a strong sense of self and purpose into a relationship. We must bring a sense of value, of who we are. We must bring an excitement about ourselves, our lives, and the vision we have for these two essential elements. We must bring a respect for wealth and abundance. Having achieved it to some satisfactory degree on our own, we must move into relationships willing to share what we have, rather than being afraid of someone taking it.” TwoSelfMovingPurposeValuesStrongRealizingWealthVisionOur LivesShareWillingEssentialsDegreesElementsExcitementAbundanceWho We AreSense Of SelfBeing AfraidLooking For LoveStrong Sense Of Self Author:Iyanla Vanzant
