“What’s the weight of a snowflake?” a sparrow asked a squirrel whilst sitting next to it on the branch of a pine-tree watching snow falling. “Actually, nothing”, replied the squirrel. Last week, said the sparrow, I was counting snow-flakes falling on a branch of a pine-tree, 3.789.754, and when the 3.789.755th fell, the branch broke. What snow-flakes are falling onto your company and can make it change forever, if only enough are falling? Have you ever thought about that?

Matter into Feeling

Actually, I should say re-reading this book: Fred Alan Wolf, Matter into Feeling.

Fred Alan Wolf, Ph.D., is a quantum physicist and one of the pioneers in the field of human and universal consciousness. In his book he reveals the alchemy of quantum physics and the ways in which the workings of the universe are resonant in our bodies, minds and souls. Even if you have never touched a book on quantum physics or how you as a human being function, this is a fantastic read for everyone.
