"When Things Fall Apartâ€Â and I quote â€œLife is a good teacher and a good friend. Things are always in transition, if we could only realize it. Â Nothing ever sums itself up in the way that we like to dream about. The off-center, in-between state is an ideal situation, a situation in which we don't get caught and we can open our hearts and minds beyond limit. It's a very tender, nonaggressive, open-ended state of affairs."

-- Pema Chodron
