@@basicbrothermail hehe - I was thinking about him and clipped him the other day: Much of your pain is self-chosen. It is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self. Therefore trust the physician, and drink his remedy in silence and tranquillity: For his hand, though heavy and hard, is guided by the tender hand of the Unseen, And the cup he brings, though it burn your lips, has been fashioned of the clay which the Potter has moistened with His own sacred tears. And then he assigns you to his sacred fire, that you may become sacred bread for God’s sacred feast.

@@SharperPenImageConsulting YES! "Ye constrain all things to flow towards you and into you, so that they shall flow back again out of your fountain as the gifts of your love."
Image is everything. Humanity is nothing, or, worse - purposeless, in it only for themselves, and destructive.
"The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain." - The Prophet, Khalil Gibran
