. . . all emotional encounters inevitably transform us. All relationships are transformations that leave both me and world changed by one another, encounters in which one penetrates the other and leaves it altogether different than it was before. Everything changes when we engage with it in emotional contact. No encounter leaves us the same. We cannot be neutral. We are always already swept up. What we see or hear changes our perception—and our new way of engaging with things causes a change in the way we make contact with the world. We are never the same from one second to the next. We are constantly becoming—and the place in which we live changes along with us.
