Neither is quite a lie

From Rumi:

"Whatever you say about mysteries, I know or I don't know, both are close to being true. Neither is quite a lie."

From Carol:

Call it fullness, or emptiness
Call it freedom
There's nothing more to get.

Maybe I'm rich or maybe I'm poor
I call it freedom
I can't ask for more.

Am I alone or am I with you?
I call it freedom
I'm whole and I'm true.

Why I Should Never Give Advice

Advice comes a self that either wants to help another do something they don't really need help with or from one who would like to do what she's advising the other to do but doesn't really have the energy/courage/ to do it herself.

Guilty as charged on both counts.
