Shadows hanging over this town
Dreams gone to waste like broken bottles
What goes up, must come back down
When karma comes around, my dear

These empty streets I walk around
I feel reality hits you stronger
I feel the pain has brought me down
I can’t hold on to it much longer …

I can’t change what I’ve done in my life
This I know: It has made me a better man
With every second that you looked into my eyes
I gave you my heart, my dear …

… ongoing care for the soul rather than seek for a cure appreciates the mystery of human suffering and does not offer the illusion of a problem-free life.

I see every fall into ignorance and confusion as an opportunity to discover that the beast residing at the center of the labyrinth is also an angel.

To approach this paradoxical point of tension where adjustment and abnormality meet is to move closer to the realization of our mystery-filled, star-born nature.

It is a beast this thing that stirs in the core of our being, but it is also the star of our innermost nature.

We have to care for this suffering with extreme reverence so that in our fear and anger at the beast, we do not overlook the star.

I exist.
It is soft, so soft,

It moves.”

there is a place in the heart that
will never be filled
and

we will wait
and

in that space.

– Charles Bukowski –

There’s a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out
but I’m too tough for him,
I say, stay in there, I’m not going to let anybody see you.

There is nothing neutral about the soul. It is the seat and the source of life. Either we respond to what the soul presents in its fantasies and desires, or we suffer from this neglect of ourselves. The power of the soul can hurl a person into ecstasy or into depression. It can be creative or destructive, gentle or aggressive. Power incubates within the soul and then makes its influential move into life as the expression of soul …

we can see the importance of imaginal practices such as journals, dream work, poetry, painting, and therapy aimed at exploring images in dream and life. These methods keep us actively engaged in the mythologies that are the stuff of our own lives.

Life is a process of becoming,
a combination of states we have to go through…
