Doing And Being

From a newspaper clipping circa 1990:

For me, the balance between doing and being is the most important and dangerous question. If I am guilted or lured into achieving too much and lose the stillness at my center, then it takes me a long time to regain it, and I do violence to myself or those I love because of fatigue and pressure. I have had to give up "winning big" because I love my life when I am connected to it, and I hate it when I get caught up in competition and deadlines.  - Judith Duerk, Circles of Stones
