Critical Tasks
Now … the passage from the imperfect to the more perfect is not easy. It is harder to practice virtue than to acquiesce in vice; virtue comes not naturally to man; that he may gain the higher life, he must be helped by grace. Therefore, the task of exalting the purer metals into the perfect gold, of developing the lower order into the higher, is not easy. If Nature does this, she does it slowly and painfully; if the exaltation of the common metals to a higher plane is to be effected rapidly, it can be done only by the help of man.
– M. M. Pattison Muir (Alchemy book )

Listening is a magnetic and strange thing, a creative force ... When we are listened to, it creates us, makes us unfold [and come to life ...] and expand. Ideas actually begin to grow within us and come to life .... When we listen to people there is an alternating current, and this recharges us so that we never get tired of each other ... and it is this little creative fountain inside of us that begins to spring and cast up new thoughts and unexpected laughter and wisdom. ...Well, it is when people really listen to us, with quiet fascinated attention, that the little fountain begins to work again, to accelerate in the most surprising way.
- Brenda Ueland
Challenges
Nothing prevents us being natural so much as the desire to appear so.
- Francois de La Rochefoucauld
