“Initially you’re overwhelmed. But gradually, you realize, it’s like a wave. Resist and be knocked over. Dive into it, and you’ll swim out the other side. This is a new and different world. The challenge is to cope with it. And not just cope but thrive…

Like Darwin’s finches, we are slowly adapting to our environment. And when one does adapt, my god, the riches that are available.

There is no past that we can bring back by longing for it. Only a present that builds and creates itself as the past withdraws.”
