What's inside me?

Fire of Love (Sara Dosa, 2022)    

Good morning everyone

“Let the water settle; you will see the moon and stars mirrored in your being.” — Rumi

“There can be no rebirth without a dark night of the soul, a total annihilation of all that you believed in and thought that you were.” - Hazrat Inayat Khan: The Soul’s Journey

Laughing at the universe liberated my life. I escape its weight by laughing. I refuse any intellectual translations of this laughter, since my slavery would commence from that point on.

I have crossed oceans of time to find you - Transylvanian love story 1462

Behold the sea

But we cannot simply sit and stare at our wounds forever - Haruki Marukami

“I never want to see you cry again, except with happiness.” - Waterloo Bridge (1940)

Hidden in bed, happy, while outside it rains.

Leadership is inherently valuable. Taking responsibility for making hard decisions is a great relief for others. Making good decisions is even more valuable. But even if you make sub-par de- cisions, that's still a lot better than anarchy or democracy, which is the default in any social situation when leadership is absent. So, put your neck on the line, step up and tell people what to do. They'll never thank you for it, but they will love you for it.

From “The Flowers of Evil” by Charles Beaudelaire Funeral Parade of Roses (薔薇の葬列) (1969)
