Lao-tzu recommended that we let go of all those social conventions that interfere with our authenticity and that hamper our spontaneity and creativity.*
Anna Katharina Schaffner

Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.**
James Baldwin

When you’ve been slowly but
surely working on your
humility and
generosity and
faithfulness, you can better trust
the solution you have to be
selfless and
generous and
wise –
The kind of things problems
don’t like at all.
