“Do you know how they brainwash people in this country? They repeat something over and over. And that’s what we do in this country. Owning things is good. More money is good. More property is good.

What the heart cares about is resonance. Resonance that opens it, resonance that enlivens it, resonance that calls it home. And when it finds it, the transformation begins…”
