sleeping while awake

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.
