Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and adventure.*
Oliver Sacks
Remember that to change your mind and to follow someone else’s correction are consistent with a free will. For the action is yours alone … .**
Marcus Aurelius
And the most
amazing thing
about consciousness is
I get to change my mind–
Being open to more
is awe-some.
*Oliver Sacks’ Gratitude;
