The bifurcating* path

May the Angel of Wildness disturb the places
Where your life is domesticated and safe,
Take you to the territories of true otherness
Where all that is awkward in you
Can fall into its own rhythm.**

John O’Donohue

Mindfulness is the process of waking up to see what’s right in front of us.^
Ryder Carroll

Our longing marks where the path forks;
We cannot see our new path only because as yet
it lies untrodden.

*Apologies for the title; I’ve never used the word “bifurcate” before, and thought it would be fun;
