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.

When Understanding Becomes Possible

 

We usually say, “I don’t understand.”
More often we mean, “I don’t agree.”
Or, more subconsciously, “What I’m understanding makes me uncomfortable.”

So what is understanding?

On Love

 

Contracts.
Traditional celebrations.
Gifts.

None of these are love.
They are not required for love.
