I want to say that I have held death and while uncompromising in that not only will it take you when it is your time, it will also not take you when it is not your time. It cannot be coerced or pleaded to on either count, it is honest.

There are truths, volatile and elusive, that lie outside of the scope of language and yet, at the same time, issue a demand that one return from and try to describe what just happened. Those who are successful are poets and mystics.

“Within yourself deliverance must be searched for, because each man makes his own prison.”

~ Edwin Arnold

The first time we hear someone say, or we come to the point in our lives where we dare say to ourselves, “You are way more than you know,” or perhaps, “You contain far much more than you’ve ever thought,” or “You are powerful beyond measure,” our default reaction is to choke on it or bury it down and respond with, “No, nope. Not me, I’m not that. I could never be that.”
