"Deep down, who are you? That’s the thing that’s been forgotten. That’s the underside of the tapestry, the thing that’s been left out because what we are carefully taught to ignore is that every one of us, fundamentally, deep, deep inside, is an act of, function of, performance of, manifestation of the works, the whole blinking cosmos with all its galaxies.” –Alan Watts
