  3. A quotation from Cicero

    MARCUS: Nor am I asham’d, as some others are, to confess I do not know, what I do not.

  4. A quotation from Eric Hoffer

    Self-righteousness is a loud din raised to drown the voice of guilt within us. There is a guilty conscience behind every brazen word and act and behind every manifestation of self-righteousness.

    Eric Hoffer (1902–1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
    True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements, Part 3, ch. 14, § 69 (3.14.69) (1951)

  5. Insecurities and anxiety…

    ...enhanced by trauma, grief & shame... The last few months of Arwen's life, she dealt with several health issues. I was so happy for her, when her very nasty ear infections finally were gone. It had taken several months, the poor thing. And I don't know how long she'd been dealing with them before that, as she barely showed any signs. So, as I shared here a little while ago, when Koa got diagnosed with having an ear infection as well, I started getting several traumatic flashbacks. (post can be found here: Painful flashbacks 😢). But all the mistakes I made with Arwen, missing out on such important things concerning her health... Partially due to Arwen doing her very best to hide her pains and discomforts from me, because she wanted to support me, and not have me worrying too much over her 😢 . And partially because I was being too self-centered, too busy with my own health issues that were going on. I still have nightmares, very bad flashbacks, and moments when I just burst out in tears over what happened in early July 2025. And now, while I have started a new part of my journey, together with Koa, these things are haunting me... 😭 […]

  6. The Places in My Dreams

    The world within, the world of my dreams, is similar to the one I walk through every day. But it is different.

    The streets bend strangely. The rooms open where they should not. The people and places are often indifferent to me, and sometimes, they are even antagonistic.

    They are not merely people and places. They are representations of emotions I have not yet worked through from the previous day. Sixteen waking hours are not enough to fully grasp all that I have experienced, endured, feared, desired, regretted, or misunderstood.

    And so, in the night, these things come alive.

    They take on faces. They become houses, roads, crowds, locked doors, ruined landscapes, familiar rooms made unfamiliar. They guide me through the shadow lands—not always kindly, but truthfully. They show me what I could not see while awake.

    My dreams are not escapes from the day.

    They are the day returning in another form, asking to be understood.

    Some nights I find myself back in places I have never been, and yet they feel older than memory. A school that was never my school. A church with hallways that keep multiplying. A childhood home rearranged by grief. A city I know by instinct, though no map has ever held it.

    In these places, I am often trying to get somewhere.

    I am late. I am lost. I am looking for someone. I am trying to explain myself to people who will not listen. I am searching for a room, a door, a vehicle, a path, a way home. Sometimes I am carrying something fragile. Sometimes I have forgotten what I was supposed to carry. Sometimes I am responsible for a task I do not understand, surrounded by people who seem to know the rules but refuse to tell me.

    This is the cruelty of the dream world: everyone else seems initiated.

    They move through the strange landscape as if it is ordinary. They know which hallway leads out, which road is safe, which bus to board, which door not to open. I am the stranger in a world that somehow belongs to me. I am the dreamer, and yet I am not in control.

    Perhaps this is why the places feel antagonistic. They do not hate me. They are simply unwilling to flatter me. They will not pretend I am finished with what I have not faced. They will not comfort me with easy explanations. They turn my emotions into architecture and ask me to walk through them.

    Fear becomes a narrow bridge.

    Regret becomes a house with too many locked rooms.

    Anger becomes a storm on the edge of town.

    Shame becomes a crowd that sees me before I am ready to be seen.

    Grief becomes a road that always returns to the same place.

    And longing—longing becomes a light in a window I can never quite reach.

    I wake from these dreams with the feeling that I have traveled farther than my body could have gone. I have crossed cities, fields, stairways, basements, sanctuaries, ruins, and train stations. I have spoken with the dead and avoided the living. I have been judged by strangers and ignored by friends. I have wandered through the unfinished weather of my own soul.

    Then morning comes, and the ordinary world returns.

    The walls are where I left them. The floor is solid. The dog needs to go out. The coffee waits. The phone glows with its small demands. The day begins again, pretending to be separate from the night.

    But I know better.

    The dream has left its residue. A feeling follows me, sometimes faint, sometimes heavy. A hallway from the dream lingers inside the hallway of the house. A face from the night appears behind the face of someone I know. A mood clings to the morning like fog.

    The shadow lands do not vanish when I wake.

    They retreat.

    They wait beneath the visible world, beneath errands and conversations, beneath sermons and chores, beneath the version of myself that knows how to answer when someone asks, “How are you?”

    I say, “I’m fine.”

    But somewhere beneath that answer, an entire city is still burning, or flooding, or rebuilding itself in the dark.

  8. A quotation from Hoffer

    Self-contempt, however vague, sharpens our eyes for the imperfections of others. We usually strive to reveal in others the blemishes we hide in ourselves.

    True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements, Part 3, ch. 14, § 100 (3.14.100) (1951)

  9. To protect the public from women's awful #music , the benevolent Islamic Republic requires permits for concerts. And to protect them from #shame for their ugliness, #women in #Iran must cover their heads.

    Parastoo Ahmadi violated both laws by filming a #concert ! For this "obscene and immoral content", Ahmadi & crew have been sentenced to flogging plus a work & travel ban.

    Please share the concert, so that all know how #obscene and #immoral #Ahmadi really is.

  20. I'm imagining a great gathering of survivors around an enormous bonfire.

    We each speak of the secret shameful things that burn in us.

    And after every single testimony, we call out together "this is not your shame!"

    And then we dance and sing and cry together til the sun rises.
