Define yourself radically as one beloved by God.
This is the true self. Every other identity is illusion.

We spend our life until we're thirty
deciding what parts of ourself to stuff into
the invisible bag we drag behind us and
we spend the rest of our lives
trying to get them again.

Longing
If dreams are thwarted,
then yearning must take their place.
If reunion is impossible,
then longing must take its place.

And I think you'll be happier for the trouble.

Ordinary
Anyone can love a rose,
but it takes a lot to love a leaf.

but it's beautiful to love the ordinary.

Just be.
There is nothing to do. Just be.
Do nothing. Be.
No climbing mountatins and sitting in caves.
I do not even say "be yourself"
since you do not know yourself.
Just be.
