ESCAPE FROM POSSIBILITY, by astrid hubbard flynn
“Perhaps the most egregious thing we are taught is that we should just be really good at what’s already [considered] possible, to leave the impossible alone.”
– adrienne maree brown, Emergent Strategy
“Beings are numberless. I vow to save them [all]. Delusions are inexhaustible. I vow to end them. Dharma gates are boundless. I vow to enter them. Buddha’s way is unsurpassable. I vow to become it.”
– The Four Vows (San Francisco Zen Center translation)
