Most of us agree that these are dark times, and stupid ones, but do we need fiction that does nothing but dramatize how dark and stupid everything is? In dark times, the definition of good art would seem to be art that locates and applies CPR to those elements of what’s human and magical that still live and glow despite the times’ darkness. Really good fiction could have as dark a worldview as it wished, but it’d find a way both to depict this world and to illuminate the possibilities for being alive and human in it.

“INGENIOUS INTIMACY: Having an ability to consistently create deep connections with other human beings, and to use the lush, reverential excitement stimulated by such exchanges to further deepen the connections. A well-crafted talent for dissolving your sense of separateness and enjoying the innocent exultation that erupts in the wake of the dissolution.”—Rob Brezsny
The idea is to remain in a state of constant departure while always arriving. It saves on introductions and goodbyes.

All living beings have experience of pleasure and pain, and we are among them. What makes human beings different is that we have a powerful intelligence and a much greater ability to achieve happiness and avoid suffering. Real happiness and friendship come not from money or even knowledge, but from warm-heartedness. Once we recognise this we will be more inclined to cultivate it - Dalai Lama

True freedom is when one is UN-apologetic about the authentic life they are living. Freedom is found when one awakens to the awareness of who they are and why they are. So take the time to know yourself as you receive all that brings you joy, embrace all good things. Quit hiding who you are and get comfortable just the way the creator made you. ♛
