"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."
~ Rainer Maria Rilke

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.
Night night everyone.

“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo.
“So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

A tiny dark nebula floats in front of the glowing Eagle Nebula, stark in silhouette. This small Bok globule just a fraction of a light-year across lies about 7,000 light-years away, with young stars and gas glowing behind it.
