Although the act of nurturing another’s spiritual growth has the effect of nurturing one’s own, a major characteristic of genuine love is that the distinction between oneself and the other is always maintained and preserved.–M. Scott Peck. M.D. Peck’s words have me pondering the mysterious dichotomy of our being separate, unique, individual selves, […] “Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.” ― Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet These very meaningful words came […] Recently we received a copy of Don’t Retire, Rewire!
