The Danger - Simone Weil
The danger
is not that the soul should doubt
whether there is bread,
but, lest, by a lie,
it should persuade itself
that is it not
hungry.
The Way In - Linda Hogan
Sometimes the way to milk and honey is through the body. Sometimes the way in is a song. But there are three ways in the world: dangerous, wounding and beauty. To enter stone, be water. To rise through the hard earth, be plant, desiring sunlight, believing in water. To enter fire, be dry. To enter life, be food.
