To die to self through self-discipline causes suffering but brings you everlasting life. Don't lend your heart to anything else; all else is borrowed. Your mind, this globe of awareness, is a starry universe. When you push off with your foot, a thousand new roads become clear. - Rumi
this fragility. this whisper of self consciousness is
the greatest gift i must nurture this blossoming
of roots, of connection to my
body but to nurture is not to smolder it is to simply
be aware of a desire in all things to open
to the sunlight, to grow and simply
let them do so on their own.
