lithely:
As you are reading this, I am killing myself. Do not feign trepidation. I am taking a blade to my malignancy. You will not recognise me tomorrow.
There comes a time when every human must throw back their head and permit howls of sheer agony to burn the length of their throat. The spaces…
lithely: Disappearance (December - February). →
lithely:
People tell me I’ve changed, that they can see it in my face. My skin looks sallow in the sunlight.
I used to be the type of person who read poetry before breakfast and decorated herself with flowers. I’d wake on the cusp of daybreak with an aura tinged all the shades of a daisy field. I was…

clavicola:
Skin is so damn sexy. The human body is so wonderful. Fragments of limbs are just the most delicate thing. How the light falls into the contours, how everyone moves in a way that almost defines them, how at five in the morning in the hilt before dawn everyone looks like they’re…

Self improvement: I am making a conscious effort to stay focused on new growth, and reminding myself that loss is always part of greater gain.

clavicola:
This is one of the first poem I ever wrote, circa 2008
When moonlight blankets the light of day honeysuckles and pastel peonies rise up from nooks and crannies, chain link fences that dot the edges of creaking wooden panels. All the secrets of the night are betrayed by the stars that…

To my Darling,
I am going away for a while. Treat my absence as if it were death.
Imagine my body in a place where the Earth nurtures, the sky nurtures, the sea nurtures. I will be growing towards the sun. Please celebrate. Remember the silver bells of my laughter and allow your soul to dance in…
〇: Is there any proof for God? →
nirvikalpa:
“I AM. You are. Everybody is. God is nothing but the totality. The trees are, the rivers are, the mountains are. These are the proofs. The sun rises in the morning and the moon is in the night, and the stars. These are the proofs. The flowers and the butterflies and the grass, these are the…
〇: Drugs →
nirvikalpa:
“It is better not to use drugs, because sometimes they can give you certain experiences, and that’s the problem. Once you have the experiences this way, it is very difficult to reach them naturally—without drugs. And to have an experience is not the basic thing; to grow through it is.
You can…

nirvikalpa:
At the core of your being, you are deeply peaceful, immensely loving, infinitely wise and profoundly contented.

pallid-fire:
What I loved most was the patience and skill you took to explore my anatomy, how you applied careful fingers to probe and study my physical reactions. It was in the way you made my cells flow, in the way you made my connective tissues let go. The way you covered every angle…
The mind is a chattering box
nirvikalpa:
“The mind is a chattering box. You cannot stop it. The very effort to stop it gives it more nourishment to go on. Millions of people, for centuries have been trying to stop it, and they have all failed, for the simple reason that the desire to stop it is also part of it. It is not beyond it.
One side of the mind is desiring the other side of the mind to become silent. This is not...
On How to Deal with Fear
nirvikalpa:
Question - How best to deal with fear? It affects me variously… From a vague uneasiness or knotted stomach to a dizzying panic, as if the world is ending. Where does it come from? Where does it go?
Osho - It is the same question that I was just answering. All your fears are by-products of identification. You love a woman and with the love, in the same parcel comes fear: she may...
