I was getting ice cream out of the freezer just now and for some reason, stopped for a minute to read one of the many quotes I have taped to the fridge. This one is so, so good. It bears repeating, remembering, maybe even memorizing…and certainly living.
You have to make your own world
Instead of succumbing to the one that presses on you.
You have to turn the tables on what appears to be fate
On the full weight of society
Against the greatest odds.
You have to keep your wits about you
And refuse to surrender to anyone or anything less than
The divine.
You have to be faithful to the mystery taking place in your heart
Rather than to any idea or system that would try
With the best of motive
To dis-empower you
And make you theirs.
(Thomas Moore, from Dark Night of the Soul)
