“No one can liberate you, for no one has bound you; you hold on to the nettle of worldly pleasures and you weep for pain. The kite is pursued by the crows so long as it carries the fish in its beak, it twists and turns in the sky trying to last and it drops the fish. That moment it is free. So give up the attachment to the senses; then grief and worry can harass you no more.” GivingTryingLongMomentsPainLastsTurnsPleasureGriefWorrySkyGiving UpBoundsFishesSensesCarrieAttachmentThat MomentWorldlyTwistsPursuedCrowKitesBeaksTwists And TurnsNettlesWorldly Pleasures Author:Sathya Sai Baba

“Writing is alchemy. Dross becomes gold. Experience is transformed. Pain is changed. Suffering may become song. The ordinary or horrible is pushed by the will of the writer into grace or redemption, a prophetic wail, a screed for justice, an elegy of sadness or sorrow. ...

Without that tension, one might as well write a shopping list.” WritingWellsMayMightPainSufferingSongJusticeGraceSadnessChangedBearsSorrowOrdinaryGoldWeightListsHorribleRedemptionTensionCarrieShoppingTransformedAlchemyPropheticDrossElegy Author:Andrea Dworkin
