“I wish neither to possess nor to be possessed. I no longer covet 'paradise'. More important, I no longer fear 'hell'.
The medicine for my suffering I had within me from the very beginning but I did not take it. My ailment came from within myself, but I did not observe it, until this moment.
Now I see that I will never find the light unless, like the candle, I am my own fuel, consuming myself.”

“Be like water making its way through crack.
Do not be assertive but adjust to the object and you shall find a way round it or through it.

Moving be like water.
Still be like a mirror.
Respond like an echo.”
