“I call that man awake who, with conscious knowledge and understanding, can perceive the deep unreasoning powers in his soul, his whole innermost strength, desire and weakness, and knows how to reckon with himself.”
― Hermann Hesse
Living with yourself can often be the hardest trick. Our perceptions coloured by unreason, with hues it takes sometimes years to perceive, shortchanging ourselves and others. We want to love and be loved and indeed belong to love yet we fight it because of feeling unworthy or unable to respond. If we can just silence ourselves long enough to hear and perceive the hues coming in, those actors on the stage of our being that speak out the preprogrammed lines based on rage, guilt and sorrow, then we can use that rainbow rather than it using us, silence those actors and feel and become that love.
