"We don't grow in straight lines. We grow in spirals. And seasons and cycles. In babies being born and grandmothers dying. In daffodils blooming and leaves falling. Lovers meeting and hearts breaking. Doors closing and gates opening. Knots tied and always untying. Opening, circling, unfurling, becoming. Growing 'round and back 'round again. Not in straight lines."
~ McCall Erickson

"Awakened doing is the alignment of your outer purpose - what you do - with your inner purpose - awakening and staying awake. Through awakened doing, you become one with the outgoing purpose of the universe. Consciousness flows through you into this world. It flows into your thoughts and inspires them. It flows into what you do and guides and empowers it."
~ Eckhart Tolle
