“The path you are currently walking is as necessary as it is unique. In truth, there is no other path like yours, a path on which you are always given cyclical encounters with both hardship and joy, alongside pervasively persistent opportunities to either set aside your personal worries and serve others in greater need or use your personal triumphs to lift up those nearby.” ~ inspired by Raphael Zernoff

“The path into the light seems dark, just as the path forward seems to head back. In a similar vein, the direct path often feels longer, true power often seems weaker, true purity appears to be tarnished, and true clarity always serves to obscure. In this same way it is the greatest refinement that works unsophisticated, it is the greatest love that looks indifferent, and it is the greatest wisdom that plays childish. When we look for a separate Tao it is nowhere to be found, and yet when we realize that everyone & everything is already complete, the Tao never ceases to reveal itself.” ~ via Lao Tsu
