what you have;
the sticks and the stones,
the brittle bones and the names

will be surrendered, by choice or by chance, to the
nothingness from whence

‘I have had to experience so much stupidity, so many vices, so much error, so much nausea, disillusionment and sorrow, just in order to become
a child again and begin anew.’
- Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha
