#reincarnation

"As a man, casting off worn out garments taketh new ones, so the dweller in the body, entereth into ones that are new."

"He would reach for me in the middle of the night, nearly every single night, wrapping one of those solid arms around my waist and pulling me in close. So. Close."

"He made me feel unhinged . . . like he could take me apart and put me back together again and again."

"Don’t grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form."

"When the Aggregates arise, decay and die, O bhikkhu, every moment you are born, decay, and die."

"...you're either gonna spend your life fucking pussy, or taking it to church."

"Each night, when I go to sleep, I die. And the next morning, when I wake up, I am reborn."

"I melted into the dream as if I had always been there. I knew where I had come from; I knew where I was going."

"Even the juncture in history and the zeitgeist we live in is something we choose, setting the scene for the spiritual fodder we need to grow and achieve deeper elevation of our souls."
