"If you are irritated by every rub, how will your mirror be polished?"
"If you are irritated by every rub, how will your mirror be polished?"
"Ignore those that make you fearful and sad, that degrade you back towards disease and death."
"How will you know the difficulties of being human, if you are always flying off to blue perfection? Where will you plant your grief seeds? Workers need ground to scrape and hoe, not the sky of unspecified desire."
"Raise your words, not voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder."
"Start a huge, foolish project, like Noah…it makes absolutely no difference what people think of you."
"You soak up my soul and mingle me. Each drop of my blood cries out to the earth. We are partners, blended as one."
