We remember that because truth is paradox, something beautiful is also going on.*
Anne Lamott

In modernity, mastery usurped mystery.**
Robert Macfarlane

Life isn’t only this,
it’s also that –
Reality is everywhere;
Truth is not only mine,
It’s also yours –
It makes for a very
complicated existence
that we try to rush through, when, really,
We need to insert slowness:
You have travelled too fast over false ground;
Now your soul has come to take you back.
Take refuge in your senses, open up
To all the small miracles you pushed through.^

You’ve always had all the time
you require, what you need is
energy fed by paradox, beauty and
mystery.
