We can still become
who we once were—
first we must dust off
our accumulated ignorance
to recover our innocence
and forgotten genius.

‘He is steeped in the traditions of Western #philosophy but comes from a world where the #desert reminds you constantly that you are surrounded by a vast inimical emptiness; the ancient #Christian hermits used to sit in the #Egyptian desert because from there you could place a toll-free call to #Paradise’

Think of social media
as shared air;
be kind, oxygenate it.

What we refer to as "the real world" is often our failure of imagination.

If we are willing to sacrifice
what is dearest to us,
in perfect submission,
we shall not be required to.

Acceptance is not to steal
from each day,
but to receive with open hands
only what is freely offered.

Luck: another name for Grace.

There are many ways to donate blood, writing is one of them.
🩸
The only failures are misanthropes.
🩸
Two things that stain the mind long after they have stained the hands: blood and newspapers.

For every 'I don't'
try and atone
with an 'I do' or two.
With 'I do' is how
we marry the world.

There is a hidden relation between sacrifice & revelation —
we are favored in proportion to what we offer up.

If we look at ourselves, deeply, we pardon others.
If we look even deeper, we realize there are no others.

only our unrealized possibilities.

Every day, regardless
of the night’s previous
sulks or arguments,
morning climbs into bed
breathless as a child
eager to play.
Will you rise
to greet this challenge?

What we look for in a good #book, #painting, #music or conversation?
A stretch of runway to take off from and return to ourselves.
