It Is Only Through Mystery And Madness

It's Important To Be Heroic, Ambitious, Productive, Efficient, Creative, And Progressive, But These Qualities Don't Necessarily Nurture Soul. The Soul Has Different Concerns, Of Equal Value: Downtime For Reflection, Conversation, And Reverie; Beauty That Is Captivating And Pleasuring; Relatedness To The Environs And To People; And Any Animal’s Rhythm Of Rest And Activity.

How Many Times Do We Lose An Occasion For Soul Work By Leaping Ahead To Final Solutions Without Pausing To Savor The Undertones? We Are A Radically Bottom-line Society, Eager To Act And To End Tension, And Thus We Lose Opportunities To Know Ourselves For Our Motives And Our Secrets.

When We Relate To Our Bodies As Having Soul, We Attend To Their Beauty, Their Poetry And Their Expressiveness. Our Very Habit Of Treating The Body As A Machine, Whose Muscles Are Like Pulleys And Its Organs Engines, Forces Its Poetry Underground, So That We Experience The Body As An Instrument And See Its Poetics Only In Illness.

Usually, The Main Problem With Life Conundrums Is That We Don't Bring To Them Enough Imagination

Fond Memory Brings The Light Of Other Days Around Me.
