There has to be evil, so that good can prove
its purity above it.
~Buddha
Visitant
ever bound it seems, we are
by these whispering wraiths
that pick the lock of each and every soul
skeletal hands lift their alms
hidden bowl from shadow robes
into the light
that we might see
all that's been given
all that's been received

We are like the spider.
We weave our life and then move along in it.
We are like the dreamer who dreams
and then lives in the dream.
This is true for the entire universe.
The Upanishads
There is no agony like bearing
an untold story inside of you.
~ Zora Neale Hurston
There can be no transforming
of darkness into light
and of apathy into movement
without emotion.
~Carl Jung
The dark night of the soul
comes just before revelation.
~Joseph Campbell
When the heart weeps because it has lost
the spirit laughs because it has found.
