[Art: Orphné Achéron]
* * * *
Being properly mature involves a frank, unfrightened relationship with one's own darkness, complexity and ambition. It involves accepting that not everything that makes us happy will please others or be honoured as especially 'nice', but it can be important to explore and hold on to it nevertheless.
~ Alain de Botton
[The Cosmic Dancer]

“The day is coming when I fly off,
but who is it now in my ear who hears my voice?
Who says words with my mouth?
Who looks out with my eyes? What is the soul?
I cannot stop asking.
If I could taste one sip of an answer,
I could break out of this prison for drunks.
I didn’t come here of my own accord, and I can’t leave that way.
Whoever brought me here, will have to take me home.”
― Rumi
