I ache for the opportunity to be better; I am waiting for the perfect moment. Maybe it'll be a sunny day or perhaps I'll feel it in the wind. I itch for motivation to reach my bones and give me the strength to fulfill every promise I made. If the stars would just align, if I could just get rid of this headache, I know I could use all this potential to be a girl who doesn't flinch at the big world.

Zen … does not confuse spirituality with thinking about God while one is peeling potatoes. Zen spirituality is just to peel the potatoes.
— Alan Watts, 'The Way of Zen', pt. 2, ch. 2 (1957)

"Return, O heart, to purity's embrace,
Where innocence and wonder interlace.
A vessel cleansed, now ready to enfold,
The essence ever true, a story told.
No more the stains that time once bore,
The marks of sorrow, now no more.
A chalice gleaming, crystal-clear and bright,
To hold the nectar, free from sorrow's plight.
In whispered words, the sacred rite begins,
A holy bond where truth ascends and wins.
The heart reborn, its rhythm now restored,
In sync with life's own beat, a timeless chord.
In every breath, a cosmic dance,
With open heart, embrace the trance.
The primal pulse of life and death,
In harmony, with every breath.
A temple cleansed, with walls of flame,
Of love and will, unbound by name.
Where stars align and serpents rise,
To guide the seeker to the skies.
Return, O heart, to that first light,
Where shadows merge with boundless sight,
In unity with all that's been,
Forever now, I'll live in Sin."
~Killian Ilya Al Azif (@killianatomov)

Have you meditated sincerely with yourself?
One doesn’t have to be a Buddhist to meditate, in fact the truly powerful experiences are beyond Buddhist or non-Buddhist — they are honest and silent.
Sitting with yourself, eyes closed, ask — “what is the Truth?”
