The fire burns inside you. Don’t cover it up. Let it burn through you till you burn clearly.

What wisdom means for you can’t be found in a cookie-cutter ensemble of commonplace ideas. It’s enmeshed in your life.

Perhaps our everyday lives are simply ways for us to ignore difficult questions.

We are the tide and the through-line threads us like a hauler’s fishing nets. Onwards it pulls through the silt, the sludge and the sea. Just to hold it is to roil in the history of the water.

We can’t escape mystery because it constitutes part of our experience of a world that we do not entirely understand. Moreover, it may be basic to the world itself.

The universe is not one but whole – an awakened symphony.

In situations that can’t be neatly packaged, commodified or programmed, we can’t lean on easy guidance. Life is one of those situations.

Self-help is a form of positively-directed ignorance.
