TELL ME LIES: Archive

“Dear God, please make me whom you want me to be, and take me where you want me to go.” Such is the surrendered prayer of one who has figured it out, that all roads that lead away from God are roads that take us nowhere.” —Marianne Williamson (via thebachbook)

Commonwealth

no, not yet, no, not yet

i will not proclaim myself,

a total child of any land,

i’m still in the commonwealth

stage of my life, wondering

what to decide, what to conclude,

what to declare myself.

“There are no ‘good’ or ‘bad’ people. Some are a little better or a little worse, but all are activated more by misunderstanding than malice. A blindness to what is going on in each other’s hearts… nobody sees anybody truly but all through the flaws of their own egos. That is the way we all see …each other in life. Vanity, fear, desire, competition— all such distortions within our own egos— condition our vision of those in relation to us. Add to those distortions to our own egos the corresponding distortions in the egos of others, and you see how cloudy the glass must become through which we look at each other. That’s how it is in all living relationships except when there is that rare case of two people who love intensely enough to burn through all those layer of opacity and see each other’s naked hearts.” — Tennessee Williams
