On change

“Change, may be scary. But not changing, is even scarier. Our ability to remain stable is ironically a measure of our flexibility. Not allowing change is the perfect formula for becoming obsolete.”

— Nora Bateson, in “An Ecology of Mind”.

Those moments…

“Those moments of being able to say, ‘I used to think it was like this, but I am starting to think it might be like this.’ That was a way of saying I learnt something.”

— Nora Bateson, in “An Ecology of Mind”.

Walking and Balance

What Connects?

“What pattern connects the crab to the lobster, and the orchid to the primrose, and all the four of them to me? And me to you?”

— Gregory Bateson.

Problems and Consciousness

“No Problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.”

— Albert Einstein.
