You are so weak. Give up to grace.
The ocean takes care of each wave
till it gets to shore.
You need more help than you know.
You’re trying to live your life in open scaffolding.
Say Bismillah, In the name of God,
as the priest does with a knife when he offers an animal.
Bismillah your old self
to find your real name.
– Jalal Al-Din Rumi

I take care of myself, and in me is roof and wall.
I protect myself, and in me is hearth and fold.
~Rainer Maria Rilke
(Have fun as you cheerfully tidy up everything in your life!
By doing so, you will earn the power to experience many deep
and colorful adventures in the coming months.)

blows terribly here,
the moonlight also leaks
between the roof planks
of this ruined house.

Wolves and women
have this in common.
We have been hunted
without mercy for our wild.
And yet we have never
stopped fighting back.
Tooth and nail.
Fang and claw.
~Unknown

if my hours had opened in ease—
I would make You a lavish banquet.
My hands wouldn’t clutch at You like this,
so needy and tight.
~Rainer Maria Rilke
