I don’t want to make somebody else. I want to make myself.

There is something undeniably beautiful, mystical, powerful and wonderfully, but spell-bindingly quiet about this thing that exists between us.

Friendship is a simple thing, and yet complicated; friendship is on the surface, something natural, something taken for granted, and yet underneath one could find worlds.

I pray in words. I pray in poems. I want to learn to pray through breathing, through dreams and sleeplessness, through love and renunciation…

We have to allow ourselves to be loved by the people who really love us, the people who really matter. Too much of the time, we are blinded by our own pursuits of people to love us, people that don’t even matter. All that time we waste, the people who do love us have to stand on the sidewalk and watch us beg in the streets. It’s time to put an end to this. It’s time for us to let ourselves be loved.

To acknowledge our ancestors means
To acknowledge our ancestors means
we are aware that we did not make ourselves,
that the line streches all the way back, perhaps, to God; or Gods.
We remember them because it is an easy thing to forget:
that we are not the first to suffer, rebel, fight, love and die.
The grace in which we embrace life, in spite of the pain, the sorrows,
is always a measure
of what has gone before.

We become entwined with people, they with us, and we are not the same without them. There’s survival, surely and endurance, but we are not the same

No one got the instructions. That is the secret of life. Everyone is flailing around, winging it most of the time, trying to find a way out, or through, or up, without a map. This lack of instruction manual is how most people develop compassion, and how they figure out to show up, care, help and serve, as the only way of filling up and being free.
