Amen

Same message, another year: Go home. Stay home. Be at home. Dream of home. There are many things I love about this holiday, but perhaps foremost among them is its ability to make the world stop in its tracks. Which means there's really nowhere to be other than where you belong or where you are. Lucky, lucky you if both those places are the same place and there's a tribe there to which you belong: That's home. I intend to make merry, and hope you'll find an opportunity to do the same. For at least one day, I'll try to be worthy of all the beautiful things I did absolutely nothing to deserve.

There is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist…The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open.

8.7.18

The most that any of us can seem to do is to fashion something — an object or ourselves — and drop it into the confusion, make an offering of it, so to speak, to the life force.

Be patient towards all that is unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms, like books written in a foreign tongue. Do not now strive to uncover answers: they cannot be given you because you have not been able to live them. And what matters is to live everything. Live the questions for now.
