Courtesy of Elisabeth Dearborn (aka "El")"Maintaining a life lived all the time, not as a separate self,
liberates you from all fear. If you live in love, as some call it, or with interbeing, you feel connected to all.
Keeping that awareness sustains the Big Self within us. It's made up of many small daily practices. If done, they
can open the door. If done as rituals, not with freshness, no door opens. Done with true, open, fluid attention, awareness
arising from the impermanence of all things, then the door opens and we feel liberated. The fulcrum is in our thinking."
