“I have no right to call myself one who knows. I was one who seeks, and I still am, but I no longer seek in the stars or in books; I’m beginning to hear the teachings of my blood pulsing within me. My story isn’t pleasant, it’s not sweet and harmonious like the invented stories; it tastes of folly and bewilderment, of madness and dream, like the life of all people who no longer want to lie to themselves.”
~Hermann Hesse
I resonate with this so strongly. and I love Herman Hesse.

This reflects my current thoughts.
Impresionante!
feels so good, in my heart and soul
This resonates with me on every level. Thank you for this amazing little gem! Much love.
I don’t know if I can give up my books but I really get what Hesse is saying. The way of the shaman, living and learning…that is ultimately what we can do.
I too, no longer lie to myself. No more pacifying others by agreeing with their delusions.
Beautiful! Thank you.
Blessings.
