We are, as a species, addicted to story. Even when the body goes to sleep, the mind stays up all night, telling itself stories.

Love trusts / fear fights. A message that called out from within, if I trust in the love that comforts within, there is no need to fight any fears that might rise for attention.

Sadness gives depth. Happiness gives height. Sadness gives roots. Happiness gives branches. Happiness is like a tree going into the sky, and sadness is like the roots going down into the womb of the earth. Both are needed, and the higher a tree goes, the deeper it goes, simultaneously. The bigger the tree, the bigger will be its roots. In fact, it is always in proportion. That’s its balance.
