Healing may not be so much about getting better, as about letting go of everything that isn’t you – all of the expectations, all of the beliefs – and becoming who you are
– Rachel Naomi Remen
I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving:
To reach the port of heaven, we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it,
— but we must sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor.
– Oliver Wendell Holmes,
“The Autocrat of the Breakfast Table,” 1891
