Life's little word to me this week..if anybody else happens to dig it that's cool too.
One note here: I read "independence" not as "separation" or "invincibility" but more like "being truly centered"...
"There is no way...that you can have a decent life...if you aren't awake and aware every moment...The most extraordinary gift you've been given is your own humanity, which is about consciousness, so honor that consciousness.
Revere your senses; don't degrade them with drugs, with depression, with willful oblivion. Try to notice something new every day...take care of all things, of every single thing there is - your body, your intellect, your spirit, your neighbors, and this planet...
Only through constant focus can you become independent. Only through independence can you know yourself. And only through knowing yourself will you be able to ask the key questions of your life: What is it that I am destined to accomplish, and how can I make it happen?"
-- Elizabeth Gilbert, The Last American Man
