Human rights, race relations, gender politics, health care, and foreign policy - it's a lot to keep track of, and yet all of these things affect us in our daily lives. Making sense of everything requires meticulous unpacking of feelings, delicate navigation of social norms, and a community of love to help along the way.
I am my best work - a series of road maps, reports, recipes, doodles, and prayers from the front lines.
Let your soul be your pilot.
On this path let the heart be your guide.
There is only one map to the journey of life and it lives within your heart
Some of us find our way with a single light to guide us; others lose themselves even when the star field is as sharp as a neon ceiling. Ethics may not be situational, but feelings are. We learn to adjust, and, over time, the stars we use to guide ourselves come to reside within rather than without.
It's not easy trying to navigate your internal world in the public eye.
A man can't be in the space where there is feminine rage and bitterness. He doesn't know how to navigate it.
In this world, you've a soul for a compass and a heart for a pair of wings.
If self is a location, so is love: Bearings taken, markings, cardinal points, Options, obstinacies, dug heels, and distance, Here and there and now and then, a stance.
Interior of the hand. Sole that has come to walk only on feelings. That faces upward and in its mirror receives heavenly roads, which travel along themselves. That has learned to walk upon water when it scoops, that walks upon wells, transfiguring every path. That steps into other hands, changes those that are like it into a landscape: wanders and arrives within them, fills them with arrival.
I've spent my life navigating through sensitive issues. Not wanting to upset people.
Make your mind learn its way around the heart.
I have a lot of problems understanding connections between people and how to negotiate that. It makes everything hard offstage.
Pedaling through the dark currents, I find an accurate copy. A blue print of the pleasure in me.
If you follow your heart, you're going to find that it is often extremely inconvenient.
You’ll be fine. You’re 25. Feeling [unsure] and lost is part of your path. Don’t avoid it. See what those feelings are showing you and use it. take a breath. You’ll be okay. Even if you don’t feel okay all the time.
There's a lot of insecurities and I think that's being human. There's highs and lows and it's about navigating through that.
The soul establishes itself. But how far can it swim out through the eyes And still return safely to its nest?
All exiles carry a map within them that points the way homeward.
Art's true purpose is to be human as opposed to some rarefied activity set away from real life. I think art should help you to navigate the real challenges of being a human being.
Smooth your way to the head through the heart. The way of reason is a good one: but it is commonly something longer, and perhapsnot so sure.
Emotions can certainly be misleading: they can fool you into believing stuff that is definitely, demonstrably untrue. Yet emotions are also our indispensable tool for navigating, for feeling our way through, the much larger domain of stuff that isn't susceptible to proof or disproof, that isn't checkable against the physical universe.
I always try to push through fear. I won't be crippled by it. People say, "Oh you take such risks", or "You're brave." And I'm like, 'Well, if you knew - inside I'm really frightened!' But the way people navigate fear and pain is fascinating... The more you feel, the stronger the pain. And the more you engage in life, the more you have to lose.
I think that is what film and art and music do; they can work as a map of sorts for your feelings.
