Most decisions are based on a tiny difference.
People say, ‘This was right, that was wrong’; the difference was a feather.
I keep scales wherever I am to remind me of that. They’re a symbol of my awareness. Of the distortion most people have of what is better and what is not.
~ Terry Tempest Williams, Erosion: Essays of Undoing (Sarah Crichton Books, October 8, 2019)
