Each person takes their own path over their lifetime. That path can be straight, circular, or winding. It might be filled with anxiety, stress, loneliness, happiness, or love. This path begins at the center of the spiral, and represents the way we're trapped in our own fear, worry, and uncertainty. Changing Point represents the path unfolding as the mind finds clarity and potential to free itself from the cycles of suffering.
“No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.”
