“Be careful, lest in casting out your demon you exorcise the best thing in you.”

“I’ll take a hard truth over a gentle lie, every single time.
I write to make peace with reality and to make peace with the way no peace can be made.
I’m still learning that wanting a thing to be true does not make it so.
Sometimes the wildest choice I make is to stay entirely still.
My contract with self involves saying yes when I can, my hard no's are few. I will never stop exploring the edges.
I believe endlessly, in a way that is utterly unchangeable, in the power of love.
I believe just as strongly that when I wander, I will return to myself, to the center, to the home I have built in this body of mine.
I no longer ask for permission, but I often still forget that the permission lives in me.
Everything I write is an invitation: not just into my truth, but into your own.”
