I had no need of a ghost. I was my own haunting.

my favorite lines from this article about poetry from students grades 3-6
Some say the loving and the devouring are all the same thing.
C. S. Lewis, from ‘Till We Have Faces: A Myth Retold’
Satan, please bestow your strength, protection, and good fortune upon me so I make it through this day.💜 By your infernal powers, please be present in my being, life, and endeavors so I experience true happiness and fulfillment from this day onward.😈
Hail Satan!🤘

“my love was always woven with leaving”
— W.S. Merwin, from Variations To The Accompaniment Of A Cloud in “Garden Time"
Atma Shatakam
"Neither am I mind or intelligence,
Nor ego nor thought,
Nor am I ears or the tongue or nose or the eye,
Nor am I earth or sky or air or the light,
But I’m Siva the all pervading happiness,
Yes, I’m definitely Siva.
Nor am I the movement due to life,
Nor am I the five airs nor am I the seven elements,
Nor am I the five internal organs,
Nor am I voice or hand or feet or other organs,
But I’m Siva the all pervading happiness,
Yes, I’m definitely Siva.
I never do have enmity or friendship,
Neither do I have vigour or feeling of competition.
Neither do I have assets or money or passion or salvation,
But I’m Siva the all pervading happiness,
Yes, I’m definitely Siva.
Never do I have good deeds or sins or pleasure or sorrow,
Neither do I have holy chants, or holy water or holy books or fire sacrifice,
I’m neither food nor the consumer, who consumes food,
As I’m Siva the all pervading happiness,
Yes I’m definitely Siva.
I do not have death or doubts or distinction of caste,
I do not have either father or mother or even birth,
And I do not have relations or friends or teacher or students,
As I’m Siva the all pervading happiness,
Yes I’m definitely Siva.
I’m one without doubts I’m one without forms,
Due to knowledge I do not have any relation with my organs,
And I’m always redeemed,
And I’m Siva the all pervading happiness,
Yes I’m definitely Siva".
