It is our inward journey that leads us through time - forward or back, seldom in a straight line, most often spiraling. Each of us is moving, changing, with respect to others. As we discover, we remember; remembering, we discover; and most intensely do we experience this when our separate journeys converge. Our living experience at those meeting points is one of the charged dramatic fields of fiction.","author":"Eudora Welty","tags":["changing","clock","converge","discover","freed","inward","journey","realizing","remember","separate","time"],"id":32444,"author_id":"Eudora+Welty"},{"text":"Stop looking forward to things, look inward instead.","author":"Kamand Kojouri","tags":["be","conscious","forward","future","here","inspiration","inspirational","inward","kamand","kamand-kojouri","kojouri","look","looking","moment","now","past","power-of-now","present","quote","stop","truth"],"id":36888,"author_id":"Kamand+Kojouri"},{"text":"It’s the inward attention that takes you into the depth of the mind.","author":"Roshan Sharma","tags":["attention","direction","focus","inward","mind"],"id":112155,"author_id":"Roshan+Sharma"},{"text":"Was this what the city would look like when knowledge was no longer enough?
