Strange Love in the Time of Kali Yuga is beautiful and melancholic.

It really resonated with me - the thought that we can escape, fully, our past. Or ignore them.

It's impossible. Integration is necessary. But the struggle to transcend is everything...

I'm pitching a TV Series - and an opening thematic quote to the series is thus: "Ghosts haunt, but Life CALLS. Therein, lies our choice. Will and Imagination exist to keep our ghosts at bay."

Your blog resonates with all that I'm creating- and all that we're all dealing with.

The Four Immeasurables as a Traditional Tibetan Buddhist Prayer

May all beings have happiness and the cause of happiness.

May they be free of suffering and the cause of suffering.

May they never be disassociated from the supreme happiness which is without suffering.

May they remain in the boundless equanimity, free from both attachment to close ones and rejection of others.

Reason for guarded optimism two years after you wrote this! guessing you may know this one Tessa:

before he was killed fighting the nazis in ww2, jehan alain prefaced this piece with the words "When, in its distress, the soul can find no more words to invoke God's mercy, it repeats endlessly the same litany....for reason has reached its limit; only faith can take one further."
