Seoul, you have my heart ♡
God speaks to each of us as he makes us,
then walks with us silently out of the night.
These are the words we dimly hear:
You, sent out beyond your recall,
go to the limits of your longing.
Embody me.
Flare up like a flame
and make big shadows I can move in.
Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror.
Just keep going. No feeling is final.
Don’t let yourself lose me.
Nearby is the country they call life.
You will know it by its seriousness.
Give me your hand.

Barbara Crooker, “Red Amaryllis”
“If you have a deep scar, that is a door, if you have an old, old story, that is a door. If you love the sky and the water so much that you almost cannot bear it, that is a door. If you yearn for a deeper life, a full life, a sane life, that is a door.”
— Clarissa Pinkola Estés, from Women Who Run with the Wolves, (Ballatine Books, 1992)

will put myself in warm clothes, always, and ask myself every single moment - can i be softer? can i be kinder? can i be more present in my body? can i be in love this very moment? - and i will try my best to be
