15 Mar the principle of innocence carine roth
How do you tell a story that has no beginning and no end?
Putting a lot of heart into it
And Chaos, a generous dash of Chaos... alchemy.
And always, when it's serious, when it's real, when it's big, when it's so important, always put
A song
How to describe these crossings where everything collapses, nothing remains but an atom, a distant star, nothing remains?
If not a principle, a principle of innocence and sincerity.
the principle of innocence
on which we (re)build this world?
If not me who? if not now when? A tipping point, a revolution of Love, a form of clairvoyance in an environment that devours itself through ignorance, this life, here, now, without limit because that's the way it is and we're here together. I love you, I love you, it has no conditions and no end. Genuine. The one who cried out for love ended up nailed to a cross, on his knees rather than standing, and then, and yet, I don't think we care. A furious questioning that shakes and transforms, that kills or saves, always initiatory.
The only tangible thread
The only possible link, the only possible shore, the only possible Center, the only possible path.
Chaos of death and birth, Cluster Stars, a cluster of stars entwined in the cosmos. Symphony.
We offer ourselves to taste life through connection, adventures, sharing, failures and successes, yet keep our eyes on the horizon, to shout "Earth" with all the force of our joy when it presents itself and welcomes us back home, briefly. To be. And sharing this life.
How do you tell, and make sense of, a story that has no beginning and no end? Beyond.
A never-ending story.
The word humility (humus) is generally considered a character trait of an individual who sees himself or herself realistically. Humility is the opposite of all the distorted views of oneself (pride, egocentricity, narcissism, self-loathing), which can become pathological at a certain intensity. Humility is not an innate quality in human beings; it is commonly considered to be acquired with time and experience, and to go hand in hand with emotional or spiritual maturity. It is akin to an awareness of one's condition and place in the midst of others and the universe.
Humility is not necessarily linked to the way an individual shows off to others, so modesty is not a form of humility but rather a "demonstration" of humility that a person lacking humility can quite easily achieve. Similarly, pride is not incompatible with humility: an individual can be proud of himself for what he has achieved, precisely because he possesses enough humility to realize that he has done a great deal for what he is. In contrast, it's often because of a lack of humility that an individual devalues himself, underestimating his own abilities and therefore considering his achievements as mediocre.
Finding that thread, or point, or song, that allows innocence and humility, in this life here. In this key moment. That brings us back to the heart and the vulnerable, to the pure, present, precious moment of being here without calculation or protection. Uncluttered. Arms open to the unknown, to loss, to the need to fall down and get up again when the time comes, arms open to trusting that everything is just so, without resisting or losing ourselves. And to love better and stronger still, the soft, round fire of the heart, for a long time.
