To study the Way is to study the self. To study the self is to forget the self. To forget the self is to be enlightened by all things.

Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday.

A quote on self-love by <n>Carl Jung</n>.

It can be easy to fall prey to the limiting belief that we are stagnant beings, separate from the constant metamorphosis that is unfolding all around us. When we widen our perspective, we expand our potential. In the words of Joseph Campbell, "The goal of life is to make your heartbeat match the beat of the universe. To match your nature with nature."

If we are constantly performing the self to the ubiquitous and persistent audiences that social media platforms provide, then interiority is no longer central to selfhood and no longer assumed in the same way. Instead, our performances establish ourselves for others, and how those performances are received conveys a sense of selfhood back to us.

The poem <n>Death is nothing at all</n> by <n>Henry Scott Holland</n>.

the Now, strictly speaking, is not time but outside time. In the Now, past and future meet. For a fleeting moment they are simultaneous so that they can be stored up by memory, which remembers things past and holds the expectation of things to come. For a fleeting moment (the temporal Now) it is as though time stands still

The act of longing will always be more intense than the requiting of it

In solitude, we learn to allow things to grow slowly and gently. To feel cradled in the quiet; to feel whole as you are. Marilynne Robinson once said, “I grew up with the confidence that the greatest privilege was to be alone and have all the time you wanted. That is the cream of existence.”
