mirabile visu

If you don't attain happiness, always remember that you are on the right path, and make every effort not to stray from it. The main thing is to avoid telling lies, all kinds of lies, keep from telling lies to yourself in particular. Watch out for your own deceitfulness, and do so every hour and every minute. Avoid indulging in disdain, too, for others and for yourself; whatever seems bad within you will be purged simply by virtue of the fact that you have noticed it yourself.

We cannot live in a world that is not our own, in a world that is interpreted for us by others. An interpreted world is not a home. Part of the terror is to take back our own listening, to use our own voice, to see our own light.
