Martha Beck said: “I have discovered that many of the things I thought were priceless are as cheap as costume jewellery, and much of what I labelled worthless was, all the time, filled with the kind of beauty that directly nourishes my soul.…Now I think that the vast majority of us “normal” people spend our lives trashing our treasures and treasuring our trash. We bustle around trying to create the impression that we are hip, imperturbable, omniscient, in perfect control, when in fact, we are awkward and scared and bewildered.”
