Change is certain. Peace is followed by disturbances; departure of evil men by their return. Such recurrences should not constitute occasions for sadness but realities for awareness, so that one may be happy in the interim.
I want to say that what is cool about writing self-aware first person narrative is that the awareness is not necessarily the same awareness of the reader. I have a story coming out in the Paris Review and it's about a hipster. He think's he's self-aware, he's very introspective and analytical, but when you're reading it you can totally see through his self-analysis because you have a higher awareness than he does. I like playing with that too.

We have the ability to be the ocean. And access all that infinite possibility, understanding, knowledge, awareness. Or we can get caught up in identifying ourselves as being the droplet, which cannot disconnect us literally from the ocean but does disconnect us from the awareness of the ocean, which means that we isolate our point of observation to that of the droplet. That's when we identify with being the image in the mirror.
Without self awareness we are as babies in the cradles.
I discover that I am thinking about a play, which is the first awareness I have that a new play is forming. When I'm aware of the play forming in my head, it's already at a certain degree in development.
There is still nothing like equality for women in jobs, in family. There's just an awareness that inequality is not acceptable.
If you can grow in love, you will grow in awareness. If you grow in awareness, you will grow in love.
I am your own self and the self of all beings that exist.
Photography is a small voice, at best, but sometimes one photograph, or a group of them, can lure our sense of awareness.
Awareness in our society has flipped all types of injustice on its head.
Awareness is learning to keep yourself company
To live fully is to live with an awareness of the rumble of terror that underlies everything.
The choiceless truth of who you are is revealed to be permanently here permeating everything. Not a thing and not separate from anything.
It is Love and the Lover that live eternally - Don't lend your heart to anything else; all else is borrowed.
Just let awareness have its way with you completely.
