His roots in soil, soaked with tears, Nourished by neglect, fed by fears. Yet in his heart a secret flame, Burned bright against the chilling rain.

While the path against the grain may be steep and winding, the journey is worth the strain, for it leads to a destination that is uniquely ours.

Today, entities like money, capital and the state are crazily accepted as subjects; at the same time, we treat each other and ourselves, not as free, self-creating subjects, but as if we were things. That is how we necessarily cut ourselves off from understanding ourselves. —Cyril Smith

Empty childhood heart, Running on fuel that's not there, Seeking what's been lost.

"[T]o form a concept—in effect, to bestow a meaning upon a general name in a language—is not a matter of using it to label a recurrent feature of experience, but rather of assigning it a role in some socially devised practice ..." —Bernard Harrison

"[T]here can be a philosophy that, while maintaining the standards of rigor and clarity in argument that have distinguished the English-speaking intellectual tradition since Hume, nevertheless allows rational breathing space to the convictions, concerning the power of literary art both to illuminate, and in part and at times actually to constitute, human reality ..." —Bernard Harrison

We are all of us exceedingly complex creatures and do ourselves a service in regarding ourselves as complex. Otherwise, we live in a dream world of nonexistent, simplistic black-and-white notions which simply do not apply to life. —Theodore Rubin

When inward tenderness Finds the secret hurt, Pain itself will crack the rock And, Ah! Let the soul emerge. —Rumi

Cold home, warmth denied, Eyes vacant, pleas echo void, Young heart scarred, love shied.

Yearning for warmth, in the heart of the frost, Aching for the love, he has eternally lost.

Why didn't they see me there? Why didn't they care at all? I struggled, fought, but everywhere, The monster loomed, so tall. It lurked in every conversation, In every quiet space, A shadow cast on every moment, That I could not erase.

A creature stalks me—in slumber deep, Into my thoughts, insidiously it seeps. A beast—cruel, relentless, its voice does grind, Against the tender fabric of my mind.

Where were the eyes to see the child's plea? The arms to hold, to set the heart free?

Didn't they see me—in the corner curled? In this vast world, a solitary pearl. Yearning for love—a verdant bed to thrive. Underneath the sky—the will to be alive.

Didn't they see me? Didn't they know? I craved for love, a place to grow.

Close your eyes, take a breath, let your worries softly rest, In this moment, you are here, with your feelings, oh so clear. Listen to the whispers deep, as your body softly speaks, A gentle nudge, a quiet hum, your heart's wisdom has begun.

For life is not a series of tasks to be done, but a dance of existence where the spaces between the steps reveal the hidden melody of our souls.
