    “Am I crazy?" she asked. "I feel like I am sometimes."
    "Maybe," he said, rubbing her forehead. "But don't worry about it. You need to be a little bit crazy. Crazy is the price you pay for having an imagination. It's your superpower. Tapping into the dream. It's a good thing not a bad thing.”

    Ruth Ozeki
    “Do not think that time simply flies away. Do not understand “flying” as the only function of time. If time simply flew away, a separation would exist between you and time. So if you understand time as only passing, then you do not understand the time being.   To grasp this truly, every being that exists in the entire world is linked together as moments in time, and at the same time they exist as individual moments of time. Because all moments are the time being, they are your time being.”

    “Yes," I told her. "I'm angry, so what?"

    ..... I went on, giving her an executive summary of my crappy life.

    ....

    "So of course I feel angry," I said angrily. "What do you expect? It was a stupid thing to ask."

    "Yes," she agreed. "It was a stupid thing to ask. I see that you're angry. I don't need to ask such a stupid thing to understand that."

    "So why did you ask?"

    Slowly she turned herself around, pivoting on her knees, until finally she was facing me, "I asked for you," she said.

    "For me?"

    So you could hear the answer.”
