“CHAPTER 16”
― Suzanne Falter, Transformed: San Francisco

“What I didn’t know then is that letting go always, inevitably leads to something better. It simply has to, for this is the way of the Universe.”

“We are afraid that our suffering will catch up with us. That we will lose our steely grip on control and be brought to our knees by circumstance. Or that we will lose everything, and so we will crumble to the ground and die.”

Suzanne’s Quotes

“For a seed to achieve its greatest expression, it must come completely undone. The shell cracks, its insides come out and everything changes. To someone who doesn't understand growth, it would look like complete destruction.”
