LOVE LETTERS TO YOURSELF
This is taken from a love letter (a gentle reminder)
I wrote to myself recently.

of being into new circumstances
rather than becoming new yourself.

Do you not know that there comes a midnight hour
when every one has to throw off his mask?

I have seen men in real life who so long deceived others
that at last their true nature could not reveal itself;...
In every man there is something which to a certain degree
prevents him from becoming perfectly transparent to himself;
and this may be the case in so high a degree,
he may be so inexplicably woven into relationships of life
which extend far beyond himself that he almost cannot reveal himself.
But he who cannot reveal himself cannot love,
and he who cannot love is the most unhappy man of all.
- Soren Kierkegaard

And finally I twist my heart round again,

- Anne Frank

As the witnessing deepens,
you start becoming drunk with the divine.
That is what is called ecstasy.
