Blink

Every day millions upon millions of lives blink into and out of existence. These blinks are momentary. They are ephemeral, weightless, too fleeting to bear the weight of a past and a future.

Posture perfect

Make no effort. Let your head be as the flame of a candle.

Sexual fidelity

Fidelity is not an achievement; it’s man’s natural state. See what a mess is created when we profane ourselves, when we behave in a way that is contrary to our own best interests.

Preaching to pigs

Sometimes the container into which the teaching goes (the body) is incompatible with the teaching. As a result, the teaching is debased, corrupted, ruined, while the container, which might have been good for something, is rendered good for nothing. This is like putting new wine into old skins. We are advised against it.
