'No organ is hungrier than the brain.'

The most regretful people on earth
are those who felt
the call to creative work,
who felt their own
creative power
restive and uprising,
and gave to it neither
power nor time.

—Mary Oliver

"The poet is a faker
Who's so good at his act
He even fakes the pain
Of pain he feels in fact.”

—Fernando Pessoa (as Alberto Campos)

You do not need to leave your room.

Remain sitting at your table and listen.

Do not even listen, simply wait, be quiet, still and solitary.

The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked,

it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.

—Franz #Kafka

"What I'm saying here is not, I agree, #poetry,
as poems should be written rarely and reluctantly,
under unbearable duress and only with the hope
that good spirits, not evil ones, choose us for their instrument."

The word “#mysticism” comes from a Greek word, mysterion,

…[which] comes from another root, myein, which means “to keep one’s mouth shut”

…Mysticism means you have come across a truth which makes you dumb...

it cannot be contained in any word.

—Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh

If ten lamps are in one place, each differs in form from another;
yet you can't distinguish whose radiance is whose when you focus on the light.

In the field of spirit there is no division; no individuals exist.
