Chatting with Crows

A gathering of thoughts for those of us compelled to pursue the mysteries of Life.

Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. who looks outside, dreams: who looks inside, awakes”.
— C.J. Jung

Your individual pattern

If you fulfill the pattern that is peculiar to yourself, you have loved yourself, you have accumulated and have abundance; you bestow virtue then because you have luster. You radiate; from your abundance something overflows. But if you hate and despise yourself- if you have not accepted your pattern- then there are hungry animals (prowling cats and other beasts and vermin) in your constititution which get at your neighbors like flies in order to satisfy the appetites which you have failed to satisfy. Therefore, Nietzsche says to those people who have not fulfilled their individual pattern that the bestowing soul is lacking. There is no radiation, no real warmth; there is hunger and secret stealing. C.J. Jung, Nietzche’s Zarathustra: Notes of the seminar..

Don’t go back to sleep

The breezes at dawn have secrets to tell you

Don’t go back to sleep

You must ask for what you really want

Don’t go back to sleep

People are going back and forth across the doorsill where the two worlds touch

Don’t go back to sleep

Yje door is round and open

Don’t go back to sleep

Rumi
