What I know about feeling is that it is raw. And it takes so much courage. It takes just so much courage to feel than to shut yourself off from anyone and from anything. I believe that we should let everything touch us. We should be able to let feeling in not shut it out. Each kind of feeling, each shade of complicated emotion. We should let it touch us, haunt us, kiss us, kill us: we need to surrender to its wholeness, whatever that is. I’m not suggesting a passive attitude when I’m saying “let the world touch you”. What I’m saying is: don’t run away. Sit still. Be solitary. Spend time with yourself. Be in touch with your inner landscape. In the words of Kafka: The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet…. ❤️
