This above all

Our heart’s desire is immutable. It cannot be altered; it’s the same now as it ever was. When we know what truly wills us, our satisfaction runs as deep as it can go.

“The quality of mercy is not strained.” There’s no ‘try’ in the virtues, no effort in love, no sweat in forgiveness, no freedom in laboured relationships. Consciousness is unconstrained and beauty is free.

Words, words, words

Don’t change the narrative—delete it. Right action is the soul of eloquence.

To thine own self

The first loyalty—loyalty to one’s innermost self—obviates all other loyalties.
