“One possible way they might have still saved themselves would be the thing they never called poetry. In fact, what was poetry anyway, that embarrassing word? Could it be meeting when, by coincidence, a sudden rain fell over the city? Or perhaps while having sodas together, they both looked similtaneously at a passing woman’s face, or even running into each other on that old night of moon and wind,” Lispector from the short story The Message. And I said this yesterday. And believing in intuition is risky, because it really works, but it puts you in isolation. If you believe in #alchemy, that what you see and what you let take force within you, makes it a different life. Then you don’t go seeking the familiar with closed heart and absent energy. And the simple things of nature become the subject while spinning around with all of the human incidents. #artandlivingenergy. I think the #femalevoice is rising, but it isn’t turned against men.

“The trusting relationship would create an increased tolerance to ‘be with’ the emotions, images, bodily sensations, and behaviors that before may have felt too frightening, too overwhelming, to be taken into awareness. In that social field of acceptance and receptivity, what before was unbearable became namable and tame-able, like the widening of what seemed like a ‘window of tolerance’ for that particular emotion, image, or memory,” Daniel J. Siegel, MD, again from Mind: A Journey to the Heart of Being Human. I am not sure why civilization went so far that this is a worthy quote. Some people have this in their relationships, and isn’t that the most wonderful asset, more than quantifiable riches will ever be.

“power’s crucial foundation is the ability to master your emotions. An emotional response to a situation is the single greatest barrier to power, a mistake that will cost you a lot more than any temporary satisfaction you may gain by expressing your feelings. Emotions cloud reason, and if you cannot see the situation clearly, you cannot prepare for and respond to it with any degree of control. Anger is the most destructive of emotional responses, for it clouds your vision the most,” Robert Greene. I’m not sure how to be an artist and not to feel emotions, maybe that is one of the contradictions in being in society that we all work with.
