     Perseverence is the commitment to stay awake, to battle our
intertia, our lethargy, our desire for avoidance. There is both a dreamer
and a sleepwalker in each of us. The dreamer longs for moments of
ecstatic knowing and connection...The sleepwalker longs for safety and
status quo. The dreamer prays to fulfill our lives at the deepest level.
The sleepwalker counter-prays that the trip is not too costly, too risky,
too threatening. We know the tide has turned within us when it is more
frightening to be separated from the soul than to be separated from the
status quo...
 
     -- Christina Baldwin in "Calling the Circle" (p48)
