And there are new kinds of nomads, not people who are at home everywhere, but who are at home nowhere. I was one of them ↗

Compassion isn't just about feeling the pain of others; it's about bringing them in toward yourself. If we love what God loves, then, in compassion, margins get erased. 'Be compassionate as God is compassionate,' means the dismantling of barriers that exclude. ↗

People who walk across dark bridges, past saints, with dim, small lights. Clouds which move across gray skies past churches with towers darkened in the dusk. One who leans against granite railing gazing into the evening waters, His hands resting on old stones. ↗

From "Wetness and Water" How does a part of the world leave the world? How can wetness leave water? Do not try to put out a fire by throwing on more fire. Do not wash a wound with blood. No matter how fast you run, your shadow more than keeps up. Sometimes it's in front. Only full, overhead sun diminishes your shadow. But that shadow has been serving you. What hurts you blesses you. Darkness is your candle. Your boundaries are your quest. ↗

Joy, sadness, confidence, anxiety, love, hatred, fear-all of these feelings and thousands more that make up the human "heart" are as useless to the living dead as the organ of the same name. Who knows if this is humanity's greatest weakness or strength? The debate continues, and probably will forever. ↗

Peace is self-examination and being all right with what you see. Freedom is being able to open up to others without the worry of persecution. Happiness is seeing others for who they are and embracing the differences. ↗

If freedom isn't worth dying for, then...what is it really worth? ↗

#inspirational #freedom

Esoterically and philosophically true liberty leads to societies where we can totally pursue our real interests and are giving the intellectual or psychical vehicles to do so. There will be an understanding that everyone does the best mentally, physically, and spiritually when they are forced into nothing at all. A true reversal from what we have now. We would not have to learn to live, we would just live for whatever is our choosing. Does that sound crazy? Well I'm sure some cavemen couldn't comprehend what our society would be like, but I like to think a few did... ↗
