Dari ar mani, ko gribi. Bet dari. Tūkstoš sejas man saplūst par vienu- par vienu laimīgo tavu, par tādu, kādu es gribu un varu to padarīt. Nē, nevis gribu. Vai tad debesīs iesniedzies tornis ko grib ? Viņš ir, un viņš citādi nevar. Dari ar mani, ko gribi. Nē, esi. Esi tāds, kāds tu citādi nevari. ↗

The world is full of lots of people play acting and hurling stuff about, unconscious of the effects. And there are large group karmic things going on through history that none of us should ever take personally. Rushing about trying to rectify the sins of the past is not productive. The best you can do is to be present as the new you in the now, holding your light as a steady candle to add to the beam of calm and love now spreading to help wake more and more people up. Hopefully we will evolve as a species to eventually cease the unnecessary conflict between different groups of ourselves. ↗

Joshie has always told Post Human Services Staff to keep a diary, to remember who we were because every moment, our brains and synapses are being rebuilt and rewired with maddening disregard for our personalities, so that each year, each month, each day, we transfer into a different person, an utterly unfaithful iteration of our original selves, of the drooling kid in the sandbox. But not me. I am still a facsimile of my early childhood. I am still looking for a loving dad to lift me up and brush the sand off my ass and to hear English, calm and hurtless, fall off his lips. ↗

It is indeed strange, given the heavy emphasis placed by chroniclers on Churchill's sheer magnitude of personality, that the ingredient of pure ambition should be so much ignored or even disallowed. ↗

See? Even dead she makes me a better whatever-the-hell it is I am. A less stupid person. A more considerate monster. ↗
