"“You darkness, from which I descend,
I love you more than the flame
which holds the earth
within the space
it brightens
and leaves all else unknown.
But the dark collects everything:
shapes and flames, animals and me,
whatever it comes upon,
peoples and powers—
Who knows—a great force may be stirring
right next to me.
I believe in the night.”" — Apr 11, 2026 08:03AM

“This is what I believe: That I am I. That my soul is a dark forest. That my known self will never be more than a little clearing in the forest. That gods, strange gods, come forth from the forest into the clearing of my known self, and then go back. That I must have the courage to let them come and go. That I will never let mankind put anything over me, but that I will try always to recognize and submit to the gods in me and the gods in other men and women. There is my creed.”
