"Researching the sequential, studying differences, what will you find out about a man? a tree? Seed, sprout, flexible shaft, hardwood - is this a tree?
To understand, don't differentiate. Power, little by little merging with the skies, - this is what tree is.
Implementation/manifestation - this is who you are. And if in fluctuations and changes you start feeling like a branch, indivisible from the olive, then a change will get the taste of eternity. Everything around you will acquire firmness."
-- Antoine de Saint-Exupery
this and the previous, are in my translation from Russian. A little awkward. Just so wanted to share it with you :)
