     State of Grace:
     It's achieving the peace and
     freedom of living in the moment,
     and not allowing past wrongs
     to colour the present.

        Olivia Chow, My Journey

La tragedia del hombre es mayor cuando se la deja caer.

The tragedy of man is greater when he gives it up.

Antonio Porchia, Voices, translated by W. S. Merwin

Questions

     Creativity requires asking genuine questions,
     those to which an answer is not already known. 
     Questions function as open-handed invitation to creativity,
     calling forth that which doesn’t yet exist. 

       Marilee Goldberg, The Art of the Question
