“Do you want to change the world?
Then change yourself first.
Do you want to change yourself?
Then remain completely silent inside the silence-sea.”
―Sri Chinmoy

What practice has helped you to change yourself?

As summer gives way to fall, the deciduous trees change color, texture, shape—a radical transformation that takes place year after year.

What is the biggest change you repeatedly undertake?

“Everyone must leave something behind when [they die] . . . Something your hand touched some way so your soul has somewhere to go when you die . . . It doesn’t matter what you do, so long as you change something from the way it was before you touched it into something that’s like you after you take your hands away.”
―Ray Bradbury

What do you hope will outlast you as your legacy?

You would think that if you asked people about their heroes you would get a list of famous people who did extraordinary things against great odds—and that does describe some heroes. But many people’s heroes are their parents, teachers, mentors. People who made a difference without making a fuss.

Who are your heroes and why?

What you’re supposed to do
when you don’t like a thing is change it.
If you can’t change it,
change the way you think about it.”
―Maya Angelou
