Awaken

“It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.” – Albert Einstein

“All you need is one safe anchor to keep you grounded when the rest of your life spins out of control.” 
― Katie Kacvinsky, Awaken

“Some people try to tell you the things you want in life are out of your grasp, while others lift you up on their shoulders and help you reach them. I may not know a lot, but I prefer to fill my life with people who let me climb on top of their shoulders, not people who try to keep me planted on the ground.” 
― Katie Kacvinsky, Awaken

“There’s a misbelief that to awaken you need to rise like fire from a place of destruction, brokenness, and desperation. But in reality, we usually awaken when it’s our time, from where it’s befitting, perhaps in tiny bursts, like a spring flower emerging from the snow. – Amanda Ricks 2018

    Very eloquently said.

    If I’m correct, I believe that both of us were late bloomers. 🙂
