'Ideas are not tidy guests'
'Mental mono-cropping is imprisonment'
This resonates with me so much and speaks to how I can struggle with clearly defined roles / disciplines / specialisations.
Perhaps none of us fit into boxes, no matter how much we have chosen to build them

Still loving this, and needing to take my time. The concepts of 'oneness' and 'interconnectedness' as perhaps being a disservice to the richness and complexity of variation is profound. As are the concepts around forgiveness. We often look to similarity to 'heal' difference (one human race, one planet) but I think the way to explore tensions is to recognise, not quell difference?

This is possibly the most beautiful book I have ever read. It touches me. Every word makes me think about who I am, my relationships to, and in part of the world. It is making me think about the present, and how it is part of a psst and future. My mind feels aware, noticing.
