the raft
may we not mistake the raft for the shore, nor for the journey itself… indeed, there are more than one raft we will have to cobble together to make our way through this life, they are impermanent.
Some last a long time , others serve for some specific time and need, to get us across to one of the many shores this life’s journey requires us to get to.
When the time comes the raft has...

Love and devotion, at it’s purest essence is not the love of one’s love—the emotion— nor the devotion to our devotion—the principle— but a seemless unconditional connection to another—their strengths, weaknesses, harshness, sweetness, their wholeness— so indivisible from one’s self that there are moments where they end and we begin are not...
