true power is
not in expanding,
but within restraint.

not to control the entire space,
but to admit that Another
has all the rights for
a different breath

(art by Vladimir Sidoruk)

anyone who tries to take away your mirror
does it to build their own mirror rooms
narrowing your vernal song.

you are the blossom
and you are a wholeness.

don’t be afraid of the air and freedom.
don’t be afraid of your voice.

(art by Cori Lee Marvin)

happiness
is a natural state
when one who rules it
values peace above all else
