“You, just as you are, and your life here, right now, are all there is and all you need to know. You don't have to do anything special. Mostly, you have to be open to meeting face to face, and even dancing with, the truth that pertains to your life right now. You have to find a way to collect your fractured pieces, examine them, and the accept them as part of who you are. Spiritual practice is about transformation, but it's also, and more importantly, about working with what is.” KnowsWayNeedsFacesSpiritualAcceptingPracticePiecesSpecialRight NowTransformationWho You AreDancingMeetingsFace To FaceSpiritual Practice Author:angel Kyodo Williams

“My biggest difference with our film and those kinds of science fiction films is that they are going from one special effect set piece to the next, what we were doing was more of a character study.
