Mad Spiritual musings on diversity and inclusivity

I denied myself and so my world inside was a crumbling mess. I stopped hiding and was blown away by how easy it was to live. Living became natural again. And being me was no longer a problem. They don’t teach this stuff in schools but they should. They really, really should. Real living is about unhiding. That’s when everything starts to make sense. -- S.C Lourie, Soul Notes of the Butterfly
