“I did not myself know what I wanted:

I feared life, desired to escape from it,

yet still hoped something of it.”

~ Leo Tolstoy

That is so true!

He who has suffer, can understand everything and everyone.

"The most beautiful people I was allowed to meet were those who have lost, suffered, struggled, lost, who have found their way to pull their heads out of the water, who have skinned those who have broken their lives.

These people have an appreciation, sensitivity, and understanding of life that fills them with compassion, tenderness, and deep love for others.

Pretty people don't come out of nowhere."

~ Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

But there come times - perhaps this is one of them -
when we have to take ourselves more seriously or die…

…we are always like this, rootless, dismembered: knowing this makes the difference.

Birth stripped our birthright from us,
tore us from a woman, from women, from ourselves so early on

And the whole chorus throbbing out our ears
like midges, told us nothing, nothing
of origins, nothing we needed to know ,
nothing that could re-member us.

Homesick for myself, for her…

Excerpt from Adrienne Rich’s - Transcendental Etude

I love both Jung and Kandinsky!

Freud? sometimes, not always.

“Unexpressed emotions will never die.
They are buried alive and they will
come forth later in uglier ways.”

~ Sigmund Freud

Well, what makes people lovable is nothing inherent in themselves, but the way view them. 

What is lovable tome may not be to anyone else. 

If I am full of love, every one seems lovable to me.

"Yellow, Red, Blue", by Wassily Kandinsky

"The art of life is the most distinguished and rarest of all the arts."

Lawrence was writing from the perspective of a society still breaking free from hundreds of years of repressed id.

And I’m guessing he wrote this before WW II 

It seems our desire to be elemental is as likely to produce a Hitler or Manson, as it is to produce a noble savage.

I think there’s a very wide spectrum as to how we approach our shadow.

With 7 billion possibilities, the specific biochemistry of each person will incline them to be more or less passionate. More or less logical.

Swedenborg or Blake? Either/or. Or some of both!
