“We depend on cognitive assent and affective assurances to substantiate the reality of our relationship with God. If we can’t know or feel God, we customarily doubt our relationship with God. But such ‘knowing’ and ‘feeling’ restrict God to the narrow limits of our minds and sense and reduce our relationship with God to the maintenance of such feedback. The dark night of the senses begins to move us beyond such dependency to an unconditioned relationship with God.”
M. Robert Mulholland, Invitation to a Journey

the flowers in her hair
were not from past loves.
they were from the love
she grew for herself.
stop waiting hungrily
for someone else to buy you a bouquet.
feed yourself the devotion you deserve.

Dear Woman:
Sometimes
You’ll just be too much woman.
Too smart, too beautiful, too strong.
Too much of something that makes a man feel like less of a man,
Which will start making you feel like you have to be less of a woman.
The biggest mistake you can make is removing jewels from your crown to make it easier for a man to carry.
When this happens, I need you to understand,
You do not need a smaller crown–
You need a man with bigger hands.
