i’m climbing back into that world to write this one my phone, but a few seconds ago i stepped out of my bed to grab my water bottle, after a whole evening of planning and dreaming of a future in my head, talking about it with many people, looking at inspirations and examples,

and the sole of my foot touched the cold floor and suddenly i was a body again. a human under a blanket in a room under stars, and i touched my lips to the warmth of the flesh of my knee and i thought about how long it had been since i felt physically presently human. (since the days i studied outside in the sun i think) i’ve been in my head ever since.

and i wondered about if what it i put my phone down for days, and only lived with books, no studies because they make the time pass in a haze of nerves too. would time slow down and would i be a philosopher? would the narrating voice in my head quiet after a while? would i be a body again, or would i be a dreamer still?

i long to be only a body…

When you emerge from the dark night of the soul, you will find that something is always taken away for the better: your beliefs, your former purpose in life or even your ego identity. No being can reach a higher level of nature without ceasing to exist at the previous one.

Have you ever watched a butterfly begin to emerge from its cocoon? It must struggle to strengthen its wings. If someone prematurely frees the butterfly from the cocoon, it will not be able to fly because its crucial hardening stage will be incomplete. The same principle applies to trees: they need wind to strengthen their structure and remain upright.

Your dark night of the soul is your wind and your cocoon.
