There are two ways to live your life. One as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.
~ Albert Einstein

We already have everything we need. There is no need for self improvement. All these trips we lay on ourselves, the heavy duty fearing that we're bad and hoping that we're good, the identities that we so dearly cling to, the rage, the jealousy, and the addictions of all kinds- never touch our basic wealth. They are like clouds that temporarily block the sun. But all the time our warmth and brilliance are right here. This is who we really are. We are one blink of an eye from being fully awake.

You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.
~ Buckminster Fuller

I'm not the same soul I once was. A lot has changed. A lot had to change. So you shouldn't expect out of me what I embodied in the past. For that part of me no longer exists.

... (this quote and this butterfly are the representations of a new beginning into unchartered places of myself as I discover who I truly am and a new journey. I am leaving the caterpillar and cocoon behind - emerging a beautiful butterfly. Here's to fully drinking in the nectar of life and light as I break into a full on new embodiment of myself. Do not think of me the same because a lot has changed - it had to change - and the person I was in the past is not the person I am today.)
