Introspection does not need to be a still life. It can be an active alchemy.

How can I accept a limited definable self when I feel, in me, all possibilities?... I never feel the four walls around the substance of the self, the core. I feel only space. Illimitable space.

I never lose sight of the whole. An impeccable dress is made to be lived in, to be torn, wet, stained, crumpled.

We are dancing on our irony as upon the top of glowing sparks.

What a broad world to roam in, what a sea to swim in is this God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Some grow young, some grow cold...
