I carried a quiet prosecution against myself for years.
Not one big unforgivable thing.
The accumulation of smaller ones.

There was a period last year where I didn't just feel hopeless.
I actively planned to end my life.
I'm not going to describe that period.
What I want to talk about is what was on the other side of it.

We became so clever that we over-intellectualised the experience. Built containers around it. Doctrines. Holy texts. And then started fighting over whose container was correct. We mistook the map for the territory. #SameBlood
Before theology.
Before scripture. Before the arguments and the wars. There was just a felt sense.
Something in the human animal that looked at the vastness of existence and said "this is bigger than me".
That experience is virtually universal. #SameBlood
The Tao Te Ching says, be like water.
The softest thing in the world. That yields to everything.
That carved the Grand Canyon.
Not hard. Not soft.
Both.
People who can be moved and cannot be broken.
