"When we ignore the calling, when we ignore the truth, when we ignore our experience of ourselves of somehow mysteriously transcending the binary gender system, a deep psychological and spiritual wound is inflicted." ------St.Claire
“Like dogs chasing our own tails, We are bedeviled by the ‘why’ question, which conjures up its twin, the devilish ‘how’, how to change. The pursuit of happiness becomes the pursuit of answers to the wrong questions.”
--—James Hillman
