self

I never wish to be easily defined. 

I’d rather float over other people’s minds 

as something strictly fluid and non-perceivable; 

more like a transparent, 

paradoxically iridescent creature 

rather than an actual person...

— Franz Kafka  

transition

Here I am

scanning the stars

searching for home.

I shall be

 returning quietly

to a lifetime

I've longed for.

ONG SOHUNG, Creator, I am Thou!

Beannacht

On the day when
the weight deadens
on your shoulders
and you stumble,
may the clay dance
to balance you.
And when your eyes
freeze behind
the grey window
and the ghost of loss
gets in to you,
may a flock of colours,
indigo, red, green,
and azure blue
come to awaken in you
a meadow of delight.

When the canvas frays
in the currach of thought
and a stain of ocean
blackens beneath you,
may there come across the waters
a path of yellow moonlight
to bring you safely home.


― John O'Donohue, Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom

My Tranquility Base

I have nothing at all -- 

 But this tranquility! 

 This coolness!

On Clarity

For those who confuse you, 

recognize that their confusion is theirs 

and your clarity is yours.

Fireflies in the Corn

How I adore you, you happy things, you dears,
  Riding the air and carrying all the time
  Your little lanterns behind you: it cheers
  My heart to see you settling and trying to climb
  The corn-stalks, tipping with fire their spears.


D. H. Lawrence
