“the healer you have been looking for is your own courage to know and love yourself completely”
― Yung Pueblo, Inward

“Attention is the beginning of devotion,” writes the poet Mary Oliver, pointing to the fact that distraction and care are incompatible with each other: you can’t truly love a partner or a child, dedicate yourself to a career or to a cause—or just savor the pleasure of a stroll in the park—except to the extent that you can hold your attention on the object of your devotion to begin with.”
― Oliver Burkeman, Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals
