From Fiasco To Bliss, With Daring
“We are here for a very short run of the timeline, and if a mark isn’t made, if people aren’t helped or moved by what we’ve done, then we haven’t mattered. Show up to matter, not to be liked. Show up to be big. Investigate your heart and the hearts of others to find out what the big thing needed at that time might be.”
— Marlon Brando

We, as women, live layers beneath our surface, cut off from our internal flow, because we were taught to fear our own bodies. When we begin to remove the heavy cloak of shame that has been placed over our elegant and regal shoulders, we have a chance to reclaim the intact fullness underneath.”
~ Eila Carrico

If often happens that people have great psychological problems, the whole cause of which they consider to be psychological, and then they experience something on the physical side and the whole problem collapses. They had blocked an instinct, let us say a sexual urge, which then manifested in their minds as a philosophical problem about God….
That is one of the eternal conflicts: shall I live it concretely, or shall I take it symbolically?
— Marie-Louise von Franz
