Text ID: For women who are tied to the moon, love alone is not enough.
Lou Andreas-Salomé, from Looking Back: Memoirs; translated by Breon Mitchell
Text ID: Human life—indeed all life—is poetry. It is we who live it, unconsciously, day by day, like scenes in a play, yet in its inviolable wholeness it lives us, it composes us. There is something far different from the old cliche "Turn your life into a work of art"; we are works of art-but we are not the artist.
Sunken alcove in the garden
And then—you walked in.
You, with your glittering chaos.
The oracle who keeps unfolding
Can I still be good and want you?
“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.”
— Carl Jung
