“She sat in her chair, eyes closed. She liked to be the last one to leave. She despised crowds, and their opinions as they left a performance, or worse, discussed the wait for the bathroom or where do you want to eat. It spoiled her mood.

You can still live on that shimmering line between your old thinking and your new understanding, always in a state of learning.

You have to stay mobile, movable, supple.”
