Simone Weil, notebook cover, Cahier 3, 1941.
“What is special about her handwriting? It is patient, conscientious – like a student’s – but each letter – whether Roman or Greek – has been formed (almost drawn) like an Egyptian hieroglyph, so much did she want each letter of each word to have a body.” -John Berger (on Simone Weil)

The indivisibility of the two truths ~ Patrul Rinpoche
https://justdharma.com/s/4vsk0
Ultimately we need to realize the indivisibility of the two truths, but claiming that the relative refers to existence, while on the absolute level things do not exist, will never qualify as the view of the middle way. When we realize the one genuine nature of the correct relative, the two truths will merge inseparably, beyond the conceptual extremes of existing, not existing, permanence and nothingness. As it says in the Mother Prajnaparamita:
‘The real nature of the relative is the real nature of the absolute.’
– Patrul Rinpoche

Sokrates describes how the wings will grow, given the right conditions, powerful enough to carry the soul back to its beginnings. When you fall in love you feel all sorts of sensations inside you, painful and pleasant at once: it is your wings sprouting. It is the beginning of what you mean to be.
