"You must have a room, or a certain hour or so a day, where you don't know what was in the newspaper that morning... a place where you can simply experience and bring forth what you are and what you might be."
Joseph Campbell

As we begin to clear away this clutter, the energy of divine light and love begins to flow through our beings."

"Even if our efforts of attention seem for years to be producing no result,
one day a light that is in exact proportion to them will flood the soul."
Simone Weil
There is a brokenness
of which comes the unbroken,
a shatteredness out of which blooms the
unshatterable.
There is a sorrow
beyond all grief, which leads to joy
and a fragility
out of whose depths emerges strength.
There is a hollow space
too vast for words
through which we pass with each loss,
out of whose darkness we are sanctioned into being.
There is a cry deeper than all sound
whose serrated edges cut the heart
as we break open
to the place inside which is unbreakable
and whole, and learning to sing.

Carl Sagan
"As bad as bad becomes
It's not a part of you
And love is only sleeping
Wrapped in neglect."
life seemed to be a fault of grace but it's okay.
