You feel how mean life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it…
Do not see a quiet mind , live as contentedly there. You need to spend time crawling alone through shadows to stand in your sun.
Hard things became softer after a very little while.” when everything has fallen out of place
The awful things you can't go around them, or forget them.
Start with a darkness, move through as the darkness moves through you.”
Life is eccentric, ridiculous, disagreeable, it holds our sweet waters, our secret well of happiness, our equanimity in malevolent lights.
The temporary blindness. drown and embrace the false dark, grasp the unthinkable For the light of the burdens lifted is nothing but this.”
