The only essential is this: the gift must always move.*
Lewis Hyde

The person going through the experience has to choose to convert the change and upheaval into transition and renewal.**
Bruce Feiler

These two essentials for our growth and
development,
Are the reason it is so difficult to measure our
potential:
We are open to the love and knowledge others share with us,
And we also have the capacity to generate them
despite the challenges of life or
sometimes because of them.
