              It is said that after losing his wife, Orpheus was torn to               pieces by Maenads, who threw his head into the River               Hebron. The head went on singing and forgetting,               filling up with water and floating way.

[...]

can you hear it you with your long shadows and your short shadows can you hear the severed head of Orpheus no I feel nothing from the neck down

already forgetting who I am

the crime goes on without volition singing in its bone                       not I not I                                                the water drinks my mind

—Alice Oswald, excerpt of “Severed Head Floating Downriver”, in Falling Awake

When you know, you know. The heart will show you, even in separation. Have faith. Awaken yourself so you may awaken your beloved ✨ Trust the process. Burn the ego.
