I must work on myself is
the foolishness of the decade.
Return to the good that is there from the beginning and take off the mantel of self-transformation and actualization this current culture proclaims like a messiah.
There is need for effort-always. We are created to change and transform.
But it is to deepen, to go for walks, to listen to the way leaves of the elm rustling differ from those of the mighty oak. To sit quietly and let the invisible inside take form and shape and grow.
We must all do this work of breaking and building for then
there at the place we meet in this doing solitary together, we meet with the world we ache to enter into and
live.
