Inspiration

Love is the single most difficult part of life because it is the source of all that is good and all that is painful and cruel. When on the receiving end of the harsher aspects of love, life is at its most challenging, difficult and transformative. From darkness can come light, hope and the eventual fulfilment of our dreams. Of all the painful and cruel happenings hold onto the sense of light and love that are surrounding and within, and you will shine in new ways beyond your imagination.

Excerpt from Mental Flight by Ben Okri

You can't remake the world

Without remaking yourself.

Each new era begins within.

It is an inward event,

With unsuspected possibilities

For inner liberation.

We could use it to turn on

Our inward lights.

We could use it to use even the dark

And negative things positively.

We could use the new era

To clean our eyes,

To see the world differently,

To see ourselves more clearly.

Only free people can make a free world.

Infect the world with your light.

Help fulfill the golden prophecies.

Press forward the human genius.

Our future is greater than our past.

And because we have too much information,
And no clear direction;
Too many facts,
Too much confusion,
And crave clear vision;
Too many fears,
And not enough light –
I whisper to myself modest maxims
As thought friends for a new age.
See clearly, think clearly.
Face pleasant and unpleasant truths;
Face reality.
Free the past.
Catch up with ourselves.
Never cease from upward striving.
We are better than we think.
Don’t be afraid to love, or be loved.
As within, so without.
We owe life abundant happiness.
