I am the source of my own suffering, because of the habits of my mind.
What a bog and labyrinth the human essence is. . . We are all overbrained and overemotioned.
The point is to strip down, get protestant, then even more naked. Walk over scorched bricks to find your own soul. Your heart a searching dog in the rubble.
Professional Southerners sicken me.

You can never become a great man or woman until you have overcome anxiety, worry, and fear.

When we heal ourselves, others are healed. When we nurture our dreams, we give birth to the dreams of humankind. When we walk as loving aspects of the Earth Mother, we become the fertile, life-giving Mothers of the Creative Force. When we honor our bodies, our health, and our emotional needs, we make space for our dreams to come into being. When we speak the truth from our healed hearts, we allow life abundant to continue on our Mother Planet.
