Becomingness
Life is circles of becoming, an autocatalytic set, inflaming itself with its own sparks, breeding upon itself more life and more wildness and more "becomingness." Life has no conditions, no moments that are not instantly becoming something more than life itself.

Time Alone
Begin here.
It is raining. … I am here alone … to take up my “real” life again at last.
That is what is strange – that friends, even passionate love, are not my real life unless there is time alone in which to explore and to discover what is happening or has happened.
May Sarton, Journal of A Solitude

Adversity
Adversity is like the grindstone used for polishing jade: if you don't use it, the jade won't shine.

Being Birthed
The birth of the human heart is an ongoing process. It is being birthed in every experience of your life. Everything that happens to you has the potential to deepen you.

Life?
Listen, are you breathing just a little, and calling it a life?
Mary Oliver, Have you Ever Tried to End the Long Branches

Choose Life
Choose Life, only that and always, and at whatever risk. To let life leak out, to let it wear away by the mere passage of time, to withhold giving it and spreading it is to choose nothing.

Upside Down
If the world is upside down the way it is now, wouldn't we have to turn it over to get it to stand up straight?

What we need
... what we need
is here. And we pray, not
for new earth or heaven, but to be
quiet in heart, and in eye,
clear. What we need is here.
Wendell Berry, The Wild Geese

Resurrection
The conviction that a man who died came back to life is, of course, a paradox. But that paradox may contain the secret of its powerful appeal ... it speaks the language of human emotions. It addresses itself to that which may be our deepest fear, and expresses our longing to overcome death.
Elaine Pagels, The Gnostic Gospels
