“If I feel aversion toward someone, if I find myself ignoring or turning away from someone in a group, I am probably avoiding within myself what this person represents that is true about me.”

“I may never be happy, but tonight I am content. Nothing more than an empty house, the warm hazy weariness from a day spent setting strawberry runners in the sun, a glass of cool sweet milk, and a shallow dish of blueberries bathed in cream. When one is so tired at the end of a day one must sleep, and at the next dawn there are more strawberry runners to set, and so one goes on living, near the earth. At times like this I’d call myself a fool to ask for more…”

“You don’t need to change yourself; you only need to love yourself. Your Higher Self is leading you to all the things you need to do to grow spiritually. It is always there, guiding and loving you. You have all the answers within you. Spiritual growth is an individual path. It is important to follow your own inner wisdom about what to do and when to do it. Realize that whatever you are doing right now is perfect for you.”

misswallflower:

“In the dark I rest,
unready for the light which dawns
day after day,
eager to be shared.
Black silk, shelter me.
I need
more of the night before I open
eyes and heart
to illumination. I must still
grow in the dark like a root
not ready, not ready at all.”

― Denise Levertov

“‎So avoid using the word ‘very’ because it’s lazy. A man is not very tired, he is exhausted. Don’t use very sad, use morose. Language was invented for one reason, boys - to woo women - and, in that endeavor, laziness will not do.”

True Happiness by Gary Bolduc

The smile across her face is reflected in her eyes
This happiness she has, it’s not a lie
If she could, she would scream and jump for joy
But this happiness isn’t coming from a toy
Her cheeks hurt for smiling so long
I think she might start to sing a song
A song about true happiness
A feeling that she found in her heart
This happiness, she wants everyone to be apart of
This happiness is never to be taken away
She wants it so badly to stay
For all her life she’s been sad and lonely
But she finally found a cure
So please don’t ruin it for her.

“It is difficult to see ourselves as we are. Sometimes we are fortunate enough to have good friends, lovers or others who will do us the good service of telling us the truth about ourselves. When we don’t, we can so easily delude ourselves, lose a sense of truth about ourselves, and our conscience loses power and purpose. Mostly, we tell ourselves what we would like to hear. We lose our way.”

- Jon Katz (via intellectualquotes)
