"I love the dark hours of my being.
My mind deepens into them.
There I can find, as in old letters,
the days of my life, already lived,
and held like a legend, and understood."

Delusion and awareness are not static forces; they are in constant motion. In one moment, we may be lost in delusion, caught up in a story of self. In the next moment, awareness may arise, illuminating the truth and revealing the emptiness of that story.

Night night everyone.
