“Growth emerges from the capacity to live so fully and identically in multiple dimensions....the power to courageously live in the past, present and future all in this life ....despite the grief and loss that struck you hard....
The wisdom that springs from such growth is acknowledged through a conscious refusal to dwell either in the past, present or future ....fpr growth comes not from a static way of living but from a dynamic one...from the sense of an essential boundary between what once happened...what is happening and what will happen in the days yet to come....Growth emerges from the ability to picture a wider horizon ...for life just does not come from the past, present or future...but a collection of moments lived, living and yet to live in th e years to come....”
