"How will you go about finding that thing the nature of which is totally unknown to you?" (Plato) The things we want are transformative, and we donâ€™t know or only think we know what is on the other side of that transformation. Love, wisdom, grace, inspiration- how do you go about finding these things that are in some ways about extending the boundaries of the self into unknown territory, about becoming someone else?"

-- Rebecca Solnit
