“When we live our lives as sleepwalkers, our fate is as uncontrollable as our dreams. Sometimes we have good days (good dreams) and sometimes we have bad days (bad dreams). But only when we are awake and can see clearly are we able to respond rather than react to life’s challenges. Responding from wakefulness means to act with wisdom and compassion.” pg. 5
We want to be brought into the “heart of wisdom”.
