granting no space to think or feel, why did the soft, indolent earth thus greet me with the shock of a steel plate? did the soft earth turn to steel only to show me my own softness? that nature might bring home to me

True spirituality is the never-ending process of getting real about what’s real. Letting the light of truth pervade every aspect of the human adventure, from unexamined habits of perception and cognition, to our understanding of global power dynamics. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/true-spiri...
