Staying awake comes not from willpower but from a wholehearted surrender to the moment—as it is. If we can be present, we will experience what most of us mean by God, and we do not even need to call it God. It’s largely a matter of letting go of resistance to what the moment offers or to quit clinging to a past moment.
~Richard Rohr 

the deep dive into matters of bliss….

inquiry for today~ not so weary when you allow yourself to be…..

and I’m here…

Only great pain, the long, slow pain that takes its time…compels us to descend to our ultimate depths… I doubt that such pain makes us ‘better’; but I know it makes us more profound… From such abysses, from such severe sickness, one returns newborn, having shed one’s skin…with merrier senses, with a second dangerous innocence in joy, more childlike and yet a hundred times subtler than one has ever been before.

~Friedrich Nietzsche
