Do we also recognise that we already have within us everything we need for our own becoming?*
Mary Ruth Broz and Barbara Flynn

We no longer know how to manage our mythical lives in a way that is spiritual and transformative.**
Karen Armstrong

Humans possess a sense of becoming that stretches through
the decades of our lives,
More than developing our talents and abilities upwards and to the right,
We possess an itchy inkling that transcendence lies in connection
beyond ourselves, to others, to our world and universe,
And perhaps to god:
More self,
less connection to a larger world.^
