“…the tensions between the psychic pairs of opposites are eased only gradually; and like the alchemical end-product, which always betrays its essential duality, the unified personality never quite loses the painful sense of innate discordance.

“Bodhidharma stands far above the moralists, the puritans, the so-called good men, the altruists. He has gone to the very bottom of the problem.

Start now, just start
“Start now. Start where you are. Start with pain. Start with doubt. Start with hands shaking. Start with voice trembling, but start. Start and don’t stop. Start where you are, with what you have. Just start.” Ijeoma Umebinyuo Every beginning is the beginning with “hands shaking“. At first glance it looks like fear. At second […]
