“When you are loved, you can do anything in creation. When you are loved, there's no need at all to understand what's happening, because everything happens within you.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

“we shouldn’t feel shame for how human we are, or how often we break, lose faith, and make wildly misguided mistakes.”

“Wild Things in Captivity

Wild things in captivity
while they keep their own wild purity
won't breed, they mope, they die.

All men are in captivity,
active with captive activity,
and the best won't breed, though they don't know why.

The great cage of our domesticity
kills sex in a man, the simplicity
of desire is distorted and twisted awry.

And so, with bitter perversity,
gritting against the great adversity,
they young ones copulate, hate it, and want to cry.

Sex is a state of grace.
In a cage it can't take place.
Break the cage then, start in and try.”
― D.H. Lawrence

“Never forget that once upon a time, in an unguarded moment, you recognized yourself as your friend.” And in that moment of recognition, this is when we save ourselves, from the self that was never real to begin with.”
