It could be said that we become so much a stranger that we disappear and find ourselves reborn in the midst of humanity which is quite a paradox.
In an age when nations and individuals routinely exchange murder for murder, when the healing grace of authentic spirituality is usurped by the divisive politics of religious organizations, and when broken hearts bleed pain in darkness without the relief of compassion, the voice of an exceptional poet producing exceptional work is not something the world can afford to dismiss.
Youβll never truly know how strong your spiritual practice is until youβre faced with your own mortality. Until youβre faced with an incurable disease, and you realize that the greater battle is not one of body, but the one in your mind.
