every spirit is
too gentle and light
to be described
yet world's illusions
often transform it,
pretending to be
what they aren't.
the divine is wu wei
natural and effortless
like summer's breath

that you are cared for without a reason~

each softest dream along the sea

the society of neuroses teaches to live someone else's good life and think someone else's good thoughts. but if freedom and integrity have to be sacrificed for the better, it's not the better. it's harder than it seems to say no to systems and accept the own unique existence.
