"When you love men, the world quickly becometh yours: and yourself become a greater treasure than the world is. For all their persons are your treasures, and all the things in Heaven and Earth that serve them, are yours. For those are the riches of Love, which minister to its Object."
-Thomas Traherne, "Centuries of Meditations"

I feel like I‘ve had to keep reminding myself not to suppress my emotions lately. I wanna encourage everyone to sit with their emotions today. Good & bad because those thoughts make up who we are. 💪

"To love one person with a private love is poor and miserable: to love all is glorious."
-Thomas Traherne, "Centuries of Meditations"

"It is a strange thing that men will be such enemies to themselves. Wisdom is the principal thing, yet all neglect her. Wherefore get wisdom, and with all thy getting get understanding. Exalt her and she shalt promote thee, she shall bring thee to honour when thou dost embrace her. She shall give to thy head an ornament of grace, a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee."
-Thomas Traherne, "Centuries of Meditations"

Revisiting The Irrational Season as I first read it when in my 30s. I actually think I may be past that season and I‘m enjoying this second reading from the perspective of my 60s.
