FROM THE BOOK:
"We make choices, or refuse to make choices, from the currents of fear in our own lives. But there is another way. I can see the masks fear presents to me and that I wear myself. I can brace for the loss, accept the risk of not getting what I want. I can allow the dreams of others, the dreams of the world itself, to be what they are and not to determine my dream
- Dreamshaping, Fear Itself
"Our bodies are constantly speaking to us. Unfortunately, we often refuse to listen, believing we know better than our bodies, or being unable to understand what they're telling us, or simply denying the truths they speak.
Dreamshaping, When the Body Speaks, Listen
"And remember, nothing is missing. Whatever we do or do not do, no stroke has been left out of the paintings of our lives. The hand is full, the hand is empty. The hand grasps, the hand releases. What the hand holds, including nothing, is not the hand. We are the hand. Life is the hand."
Dreamshaping, The Empty Handed Life
