"In most ancient cultures, people believed that everything, even so called inanimate objects, had an indwelling spirit, and in this respect they were closer to the truth than we are today.  When you live in a world deadened by mental abstraction, you don't sense the aliveness of the universe anymore.  Most people don't inhabit a living reality, but a conceptualized one." ~ Eckhart Tolle ~ A New Earth

As a totem of Assertiveness, he reminds us to stay focused on our goal until it is firmly in our grasp, while at the same time deftly avoiding obstacles.
