The River Between Us

The collective consensus (even if not admitted, not realized) is that the past has nothing to do with our present, that we can separate the two and “simply live here, now.”
At the same time, we also pick specific times of the past and certain incidents that we think not only affect the present, but are the cause of it.

Brave Aloneness

 The most dangerous things are those closest to us:

• the people we care about
• the job, the house, the bank account
• the name, the status, the safety net 
• Everything “mine”.

Because they are our temptations, the seductions, the attachments, the psychological needs for safety – all that “proves” and validates our existence.

Because without them, we don’t know who we are.
