It will be as if i'd never existed, he'd promised me. i felt the smooth wooden floor beneath my knees, and then the palms of my hands, and then it was pressed against the skin of my cheek. i hoped that i was fainting, but, to my disappointment, i didn't lose consciousness. the waves of pain that had only lapped at me before now reared high up and washed over my head, pulling me under. i did not resurface.

The u.s. that i had imagined was nowhere near as crazy and as incredibly damaging and brutal and indifferent as the u.s. that we're currently living in. i thought i was being transgressive, apocalyptic, an out-there person. and then reality lapped me, it just lapped me.
Crazy Reality Indifferent
So i stood up and did a handstand on my guru's roof, to celebrate the notion of liberation. i felt the dusty tiles under my hands. i felt my own strength and balance. i felt the easy night breeze on the palms of my bare feet. this kind of thing -- a spontaneous handstand--isn't something a disembodied cool blue soul can do, but a human being can do it. we have hands; we can stand on them if we want to. that's our privilege. that's the joy of a mortal body. and that's why god needs us. because god loves to feel things through our hands.

She smiled. she knew she was dying. but it did not matter any longer. she had known something which no human words could ever tell and she knew it now. she had been awaiting it and she felt it, as if it had been, as if she had lived it. life had been, if only because she had known it could be, and she felt it now as a hymn without sound, deep under the little whole that dripped red drops into the snow, deeper than that from which the red drops came. a moment or an eternity- did it matter? life, undefeated, existed and could exist. she smiled, her last smile, to so much that had been possible.

Much like the removal of moles and skin lesions is done to prevent them from growing into more serious skin abnormalities, removing minor discord before it becomes a calamity is an important use of our time. most people don’t like to make waves and they swallow frustration and bury true feelings, not wanting to compromise temporary tranquility, never realizing that massive turmoil doesn’t start out massive—it grows beneath the skin like a cancer that could have been avoided with early detection.

Grief does not end and love does not die and nothing fills its graven place. with grace, pain is transmuted into the gold of wisdom and compassion and the lesser coin of muted sadness and resignation; but something leaden of it remains, to become the kernel arond which more pain accretes (a black pearl): one pain becomes every other pain ... unless one strips away, one by one, the layers of pain to get to the heart of the pain - and this causes more pain, pain so intense as to feel like evisceration.

Pain Moving Past
Even when a person suffers pain in consequence of a thorn having entered into his hand, although it is at once drawn out, it is a punishment that has been inflicted on him, and the least pleasure he enjoys is a reward; all this is meted out by strict justice; as is said in the scripture, "all his ways are judgement" (deut. xxxii. 4); we are only ignorant of the working of that judgement.
Pain Hands Punishment
A young critic is like a boy with a gun; he fires at every living thing he sees. he thinks only of his own skill, not of the pain he is giving.
