Frank Herbert Quote

The Zensunni approach to birth, he said, urging her even faster, is to wait without purpose in the state of highest tension. Do not compete with what is happening. To compete is to prepare for failure. Do not be trapped by the need to achieve anything. This way, you achieve everything.
