the growing place

“Find ecstasy within yourself. It is not out there. It is in your innermost flowering. The one you are looking for is you.”

“Let yourself be strangely drawn by the quiet pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray.”

“It’s unfortunate, and I really wish I wouldn’t have to say this, but I really like human beings who have suffered. They’re kinder.”

“I didn’t want any flowers, I only wanted to lie with my hands turned up and be utterly empty. How free it is, you have no idea—how free.”

“Strange as it may seem, I still hope for the best, even though the best, like an interesting piece of mail, so rarely arrives.”

“A woman in harmony with her spirit is like a river flowing. She goes where she will without pretense and arrives at her destination prepared to be herself, and only herself.”

People often forget the eroticism of connecting through mind & spirit. The way a body tingles when its soul has been stroked by another's. The comfort when someone not only understands you, but feels you.
