I Think That There's A Hidden Darkness

Beauty Saves. Beauty Heals. Beauty Motivates. Beauty Unites. Beauty Returns Us To Our Origins, And Here Lies The Ultimate Act Of Saving, Of Healing, Of Overcoming Dualism.

Evil Is The Shadow Of Angel. Just As There Are Angels Of Light, Support, Guidance, Healing And Defense, So We Have Experiences Of Shadow Angels. And We Have Names For Them: Racism, Sexism, Homophobia Are All Demons - But They're Not Out There.

Compassion Is Not Pity ... Compassion Never Considers An Object As Weak Or Inferior. Compassion, One Might Say, Works From A Strength Born Of Awareness Of Shared Weakness, And Not From Someone Else's Weakness. And From The Awareness Of The Mutuality Of Us All. Thus To Put Down Another As In Pity Is To Put Down Oneself.

It Is Precisely The Despair Of Our Times That Convinces Me That A Renaissance Is Right Around The Corner.

Pain Destroys The Illusions Of False, That Is, Elitist Pleasures. It Burns From The Inside Out. It, Therefore, Sensitizes Us To What Is Truly Beautiful In Life.
