"You know quite well, deep within you, that there is only a single magic, a single power, a single salvation...and that is called loving. Well, then, love your suffering. Do not resist it, do not flee from it. It is your aversion that hurts, nothing else.... "
- Herman Hesse
I love my suffering, and suffer my loving.
Either I change this, or I am a failure.
"If I know what love is, it is because of you."
Hesse lived to speak to me from the grave. Or perhaps I was born to hear him posthumously.
