It’s up to you to break the old circuits. – Hélène Cixous, ‘The Laugh of the Medusa’
“I Go Down To The Shore
I go down to the shore in the morning
and depending on the hour the waves
are rolling in or moving out,
and I say, oh, I am miserable,
what shall—
what should I do? And the sea says
in its lovely voice:
Excuse me, I have work to do.”
― A Thousand Mornings: Poems

“By refusing to admit that I was sick, I felt I could keep the sickness outside time and space, something only in my own head.

This could only interfere with my other ambitions, such as achieving enlightenment and being a fun girl.”

“…I started grabbing everything I could find and I had no idea what other people thought was good or what was important. And so I almost never told anyone what I liked because I was terrified that they would tell me how stupid it was. Every single thing that you loved became the source of both intense obsession and possible shame. Everything was a secret.”
