The Undiscovered Emptiness
“We are a civilization of solitude that is continually found and unrecognized.”
That’s our drama, a world organized for detachment, where the other is always a threat and never a promise.
EDUARD GALEAN, Uruguayan journalist and writer

But the very few who…start to look for meaning are the ones who constitute the meaning of humanity. “
Hermann Hesse — The Sense of Humanity.

“Concerning matter, we have been all wrong. What we have called matter is energy, whose vibration has been so lowered as to be perceptible to the senses. Matter is spirit reduced to point of visibility. There is no matter.”
Our separation from each other is an optical illusion.
…The greatest tragedy of human existence is the illusion of separateness.
We are souls dressed up in sacred biochemical garments and our bodies are the instruments through which our souls play their music.
~ Albert Einstein

you have constellations
inside your eyes
comets bounce
around your ribs
and galaxies exist
between your thighs
you are a universe, my darling
beautiful and infinite
