“Was
this a betrayal, or was it an act of courage? Perhaps both. Neither one
involves forethought: such things take place in an instant, in an eyeblink.
This can only be because they have been rehearsed by us already, over and over,
in silence and darkness; in such silence, such darkness, that we are ignorant
of them ourselves. Blind but sure-footed, we step forward as if into a
remembered dance.”
―
Margaret Atwood, The Blind Assassin
“I
have to go to her, Lucan. For my own sanity, if nothing else. If I stay here,
I'm not sure what good I'd be, to tell you the truth. She's the only thing
that's held me together in a very long time. I'm a wreck for this woman, my
friend. She owns me now.”

“If
we learn to reflect on a paramount strategy and recognize the proper tactics,
we may come to find out how we can rule the stormy waves of our lives since

“True
to course, he didn’t know the nature of the assignment; true to course, he
didn’t ask. That was probably for the best. Preparation for the Iranian hostage
extraction had been difficult, and its execution life-threatening, but that was
child’s play compared to what was coming.”

“If
people challenge the vagaries of life, in a world where conflicting powers are
outlining our fate, it may be ill-advised to actuate wrecking high-wire acts
without a safety net. If they need a new swing in their reality, they cannot
count on sheer luck. Whatever their exploit may be, reflection and action must
be ingrained allies, on all accounts.("Ruling the waves" )”

the choice to embrace this day. Do not let your TODAY be stolen by the ghost of

it. Let’s go.”
“Yep,”
whispered Suley. He turned to leave. “This is crazy.” He had his phone in his
hand. “Look, we’re still in Rowland Forest. What’s this fence doing here? How
come it’s not marked?”
“We’ll
tell your father about it.” Saskia pulled at his arm, looking anxiously around
and up. To her horror, she saw a surveillance camera mounted on an overhead
tree branch. It pointed straight at them. “Merde! Suley, we’ve got to go!” she
hissed, pointing to the camera.
His
eyes widened.
Distant
shouts and an engine roaring to life exploded the forest calm.
Suley
and Saskia bolted back the way they’d come.”

“Absolute
perfection is here and now, not in some future, near or far.
The
secret is in action - here and now.
It
is your behavior that blinds you to yourself.
Disregard
whatever you think yourself to be and act as if you were absolutely perfect
-
whatever your idea of perfection may be.
All
you need is courage.”
―
Nisargadatta Maharaj

not find us now.”
