“Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable” 

— Cesar A. Cruz.

Well my smile is wider than yours when we meet 
And the winter is colder for me underneath 
And I know that you glow from the inside out 
You can keep it for yourself 
And I’ll go without 

love this song :)

"We must see that consciousness is neither an isolated soul nor the mere function of a single nervous system, but of that totality of interrelated stars and galaxies which makes a nervous system possible."

 - Alan Watts

Ecstasy is hard to describe. It’s like falling softly into a pool of crystal mountain water, floating on your back circular beneath vibrant sky, deciphering codes in the clouds spinning dizzy fast. It’s a lot more like jumping into your own brain, ferreting what’s inside, accepting past failures, freeing self destructive demons, forgiving yourself and those you love and even those you despise. 

— Crank, by Ellen Hopkins

The Quiet Time Program

Trained and coordinated by MAPS, volunteers and medical professionals contributed psychedelic harm reduction 24 hours a day at Burning Man to provide a tranquil space, water, and compassionate care for attendees undergoing difficult psychedelic experiences. MAPS Executive and Clinical Research Assistant Linnae Ponté led a four-hour training for 60 volunteers, including 12 medical professionals, who dedicated their time in six-hour shifts from Tuesday through Monday, when the event ended.

Over the course of the week, 46 guests received assistance with difficult psychedelic experiences, primarily having taken LSD or psilocybin. Sixty-two additional guests came to integrate a previous psychedelic experience, in search of information about psychedelics, or simply to rest in a safe and supportive environment.

Gwiazda
Nie moge znów dzisiaj zasnąć, marzenia spalają mnie. 
Świetlista gwiazda przyszłości, wśród śniegów pobudza krew. 
Zdeptałem w swej duszy żale, na miazge utłukłem łzy. 
Przed lustrem widzę człowieka, którego nie złamie nikt. 
Zniknięcie i zaskoczenie, na ranę ? i sól. 
Czasami całuje niebo, czasami też wpadam w dół. 
Przyrzekam wszystkim na wszystko, cokolwiek by działo się.
Po trupach wrócę do Ciebie, i wolną uczynię Cię.

You are not just a meaningless fragment in an alien universe, briefly suspended between life and death, allowed a few short-lived pleasures followed by pain and ultimate annihilation. Underneath your outer form, you are connected with something so vast, so immeasurable and sacred, that it cannot be spoken of - yet I am speaking of it now. I am speaking of it now not to give you something to believe in but to show you how you can know it for yourself.  

~Eckhart Tolle

You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have truly lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love. 

- Henry Drummond
