The process of perceiving, of finding out how things are, is a process of meeting the world; it is an activity of skillful exploration.” WorldOrderProcessEnvironmentActivityFindingsAspectMeetingsPatternsAppearanceExplorationExploringSkillful Author:Alva Noe

I believe that during certain periods in our lives we are drawn to particular books--whether it's strolling down the aisles of a bookshop with no idea whatsoever of what it is that we want to read and suddenly finding the most perfect, most wonderfully suitable book staring us right in the face. Unblinking. Or a chance meeting with a stranger or friend who recommends a book we would never ordinarily reach for.
