in the land of the blind, the one eyed man lives in exile

They need & deserve you more than your survival instincts could afford to grasp in conditions of existence

[Rinzler @alien_sapien]

I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.

J.R.R. Tolkien, The Two Towers

[Rinzler @alien_sapien]

All eventualities indicate that the journey is what matters most

[Rinzler @alien_sapien]

The dream shatters into a thousand pieces,
Felt alive as it spoke to me in its unforgiven descent,
Purpose to fulfillment stands aside,
As this moment redeems all versions of the present,
Whatever the cost, of gain & the lost,
Takes a soul to redeem another, certain of absolution

"How could you become new, if you had not first become ashes?"

— Friedrich Nietzsche

[Rinzler @alien_sapien]

Does a chip caught in a wave say where it's going,
There's no cause and effect in the oracle,
Causes become occasions or convections and confluences,
Places where the currents meet - Frank Herbert, Dune messiah

[Rinzler @alien_sapien]

Try and be a sheet of paper with nothing on it.
Be a spot of ground where nothing is growing,
Where something might be planted,
A seed, possibly, from the Absolute.

Fire and lightning race across the heavens,
I'm descending from the place that I knew,
Will the impact kill me and bring me to my end?,
What will come of my coup?
Gravity slave - seraphim

Universes function as hourglasses for gods; entropy is the sand, dripping into the world and marking the passage of metatime

[neoltitude @ctrlcreep]

I will fight god for a better plan, I'll tear up my soul's blueprint and demand another, I'll build a new telos from my bruises battling saints

[Pierre Mhanna @pierre_mhanna]

"And then I feel the sun itself
as it blazes over the hills,
like a million flowers on fire —
clearly I’m not needed,
yet I feel myself turning
into something of inexplicable value."
— Mary Oliver

Halos are like icebergs, huge structures partially hidden in the angel's brain. Sometimes they flip, golden disks sinking below the skull, revealing dream-colored, branching pastel underlight

[Emily Dickinson @E_Dickinson]

The hallowing of Pain
Like hallowing of Heaven,
Obtains at a corporeal cost — 
The Summit is not given

To Him who strives severe
At middle of the Hill — 
But He who has achieved the Top — 
All — is the price of All —

[Rick Colby @RickBColby]

Empaths are like catnip for narcissists.

[Rinzler @alien_sapien]

Particles of a lifeline that sustained its grasp on the world to wield the chains
An ever collapsing & growing field of thoughts sewed to employ the way
Stalls in regress, cherished & unbent, as outlawed by entanglement
& choices procured for all that happens next ceases to exist

[neoltitude @ctrlcreep]

An eternal forest fire that wanders like Jupiter's spot, spiralling through the woods that burn and regrow, becoming more dense every cycle

[Rinzler @alien_sapien]

Of moments wasted waiting away for a sign to fill up on hope
A few stand serene amidst the self destruction that evolves
A lasting peace of sorts, to ends that do not part in halves
& faith binds fulfilled, a karma to galvanize purpose to instill,
Its source of life in emptiness

[𒀉𒉺 @__naos__]

the way to breakthrough is pathological

[Rinzler @alien_sapien]

This purpose inevitably calls for a head first dive,
Without concern for much else that reciprocates,
As its function concluded

[𝙴𝚛𝚗𝚎𝚜𝚝 𝙷𝚎𝚖𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚠𝚊𝚢 @DailyHemingway]

I had an inheritance from my father,
It was the moon and the sun.
And though I roam all over the world,
The spending of it’s never done.
