"In the beginning when the world was young there were a great many thoughts but no such thing as truth. Man made the truths himself and each truth was a composite of a great many vague thoughts. All about in the world were truths and they were all beautiful."

--Sherwood Anderson, Winesburg, Ohio.

small black ashes

it is the exhalation that has to learn to be free
and to carry out of the body
all the unnecessary deposits
then the inhalation is just beauty, novelty
it comes, you don't have to think about it
but in the beginning
the exhalation has to be encouraged
to tke away all these small black ashes
that otherwise stay inside

-- Sandra Sabatini (Breath: The essence of yoga)

rules to move by.

when my mother was pregnant with her second child, i was 4
i pointed at her swollen belly confused at how my mother
had gotten so big in such little time
my father scooped me in his tree trunk arms and said
the closest thing to god on this earth is a woman’s body
it’s where life comes from
and to have a grown man tell me something so powerful at such a young age changed me to see that the entire universe rested at my mother’s feet

"The search may begin with a restless feeling, as if one were being watched. One turns in all directions and sees nothing. Yet one senses that there is a source for this deep restlessness; and the path that leads there is not a path to a strange place, but the path home
'But you are home!' cries the Witch of the North 'All you have to do is just wake up!
The journey is hard, for the secret place where we have always been is overgrown with thickets of “ideas,” of fears and defenses, prejudices and repressions. The holy grail is what Zen Buddhists call 'one's true nature' Each man is his own savior, after all. "
