children life-changing states
Having children is life-changing, to state the obvious. It's a gigantic shift in your life and I welcomed it.
clever reality self
[We assume] that the self is an actual living thing, but it's not. It's a projection which our clever brains create in order to cheat ourselves from the reality of death.
ifs
If we're all living in ourselves and mistaking it for life, then we're devaluing and desensitizing life.
baby skins passing
I see a wiser person than when I was younger: having babies, and passing 30, were the turning points. What women in their 40s - I am 39 - lack in gorgeousness, they make up for in wisdom. I love ageing, despite the drawbacks - thinner, drier skin.
crazy epidemics self
Crucially we haven't been figuring out how to live in oneness, with the Earth & every other living thing; we have just been insanely trying to figure out how to live with each other, billions of each other, only we're not living with each other our crazy selves are living with each other, and perpetuating an epidemic of disconnection.
