Bountiful is your life, full and complete. or so you think, until someone comes along and makes you realize what you have been missing all this time. like a mirror that reflects what is absent rather than present, he shows you the void in your soul—the void you have resisted seeing. that person can be a lover, a friend, or a spiritual master. sometimes it can be a child to look after. what matters is to find the soul that will complete yours. all the prophets have given the same advice: find the one who will be your mirror!".

Bountiful Is Your Life, Full And Complete.

Bountiful is your life, full and complete. or so you think, until someone comes along and makes you realize what you have been missing all this time. like a mirror that reflects what is absent rather than present, he shows you the void in your soul—the void you have resisted seeing. that person can be a lover, a friend, or a spiritual master. sometimes it can be a child to look after. what matters is to find the soul that will complete yours. all the prophets have given the same advice: find the one who will be your mirror!".

More From Elif Safak

The void is not being, but not being cannot be, ergo the void cannot be. the reasoning was sound, because it denied the void while granting that it could be conceived. in fact, we can quite easily conceive things that do not exist. can a chimera, buzzing in the void, devour second intentions? no, because chimeras do not exist, in the void no buzzing can be heard, and intentions are mental things - an intended pear does not nourish us. and yet i can think of a chimera even if it is chimerical, namely, if it is not. and the same with the void.

Let go of your worries let go of your worries and be completely clear-hearted, like the face of a mirror that contains no images. if you want a clear mirror, behold yourself and see the shameless truth, which the mirror reflects. if metal can be polished to a mirror-like finish, what polishing might the mirror of the heart require? between the mirror and the heart is this single difference: the heart conceals secrets, while the mirror does not.
Letting Go Wisdom Truth
God, who is everywhere, never leaves us. yet he seems sometimes to be present, sometimes to be absent. if we do not know him well, we do not realize that he may be more present to us when he is absent than when he is present.

When the rose is gone and the garden faded you will no longer hear the nightingale's song. the beloved is all; the lover just a veil. the beloved is living; the lover a dead thing. if love withholds its strengthening care, the lover is left like a bird without care, the lover is left like a bird without wings. how will i be awake and aware if the light of the beloved is absent? love wills that this word be brought forth.

I'm not a master. i'm a student-master, meaning that i have the knowledge of a master and the expertise of a master, but i'm still learning. so i'm a student-master. i don't believe in the word 'master.' i consider the master as such when they close the casket.

A friend is more than a therapist or confessor, even though a friend can sometimes heal us and offer us god's forgiveness. a friend is that other person with whom we can share our solitude, our silence, and our prayer. a friend is that other person with whom we can look at a tree and say, "isn't that beautiful," or sit on the beach and silently watch the sun disappear under the horizon. with a friend we don't have to say or do something special. with a friend we can be still and know that god is there with both of us.

Then you develop a kind of critical sense about what you write. you can tell when something is good, but it would be just as good in somebody else's work too. you want to hold out for those things only you can say.

Our appreciations, it was felt, could be so much more inclusive if we said that something, instead of being beautiful, was 'interesting'.
