Reflection 244

Welcome!


Here Alone

Here alone the confrontation which is Humanity’s curse is exposed as the lie, and so undermined; the firm basis of unsentimental and unconditional love is laid down; tranquillity and rocklike steadiness and the end of fear are assured; the secret of unfailing inspiration is let out, along with that of ordinary efficiency and pleasure in work; the inexhaustible wealth and liberality of the real world are suddenly released; the power and the glory that, in one’s heart of hearts, one always knew one had, are found to be indeed one’s very own: correction, One’s very own. (Douglas Harding. The Little Book of Life and Death.)
