To oppose something is to maintain it. To oppose something is to maintain it. We are volcanoes. When we women offer our experience as our truth, as human truth, all the maps change. There are new mountains. The worst walls are never the ones you find in your way. The worst walls are the ones you put there- you build yourself. Those are the high ones, the thick ones, the ones with no doors in. When action grows unprofitable, gather information; when information grows unprofitable, sleep. My imagination makes me human and makes me a fool; it gives me all the world and exiles me from it. You must not change one thing, one pebble, one grain of sand, until you know what good and evil will follow on that act. Great self-destruction follows upon unfounded fear. The only thing that makes life possible is permanent, intolerable uncertainty, not knowing what comes next. It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end. Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new. A person who believes ... that there is a whole of which one is a part, and that in being a part one is whole: such a person has no desire whatever, at any time, to play God. Only those who have denied their being yearn to play at it. Almost anything carried to its logical extreme becomes depressing, if not carcinogenic. |
