the hard way.

if you are lucky, you will learn in a single lifetime that your soul is not held by your home. or body. or mind. or family. or partner. or spouse. or job. or career. or mentor. or community. or best friend. or circle of friends.

or things going the way you want.

not even by promises you make to yourself.

all of these can be broken.

even your hopes. even your dreams.

all of these can fail, falter and disappear.

you can be desperate but they will resist you.

you cannot insist. and bargaining won’t work.

this is what you might have to learn the hard way or even all at once (if you are lucky) and then it will be just you, alone, in the dark. finally available to the fact that

your soul is held by your breath.

that’s it.

+ all is one.

+ creation happens in the void.

+ love is what animates all of it.

+ you exist without permission.
