Instructions For The Nervous System

Sit. Feast On Your Life.

Inspired by Derek Walcott's poem "Love After Love".

Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray.

"Let yourself

be silently drawn

by the strange pull

of what you really love.

It will not lead you astray."

- Rumi

You Are Forgiven

"You have to say 

I am forgiven 

again and again 

until it becomes the story 

you believe about yourself"

- Cheryl Strayed

My kinda Saint.

Any true ecstasy
is a sign 
you are moving in the right direction.
Don't let any prude tell you otherwise.
- St. Teresa de Ávila

Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy!

Thank you, Allen Ginsberg. 

(From Footnote To Howl.)

Be In Love.
