Madness to one is brilliance to another.
Degrees on a scale.
An emotional crisis can upset the balance we negotiate between sick and healthy.
Always in my being has been the knowing:
Don’t let them test you.
Don’t let them know you dream while awake.
The projections of others are weighty and enough to drive anyone mad who has recognized their own individuality.
Artists, writers, inventors, people involved in creative pursuits bringing ideas from the stars into the physical world.
— we have more latitude to explore the boundaries of what others call madness and to live beyond the limits of normal.
Don’t let them test you.
Don’t let them know you dream while awake.
Loved this poetic post and its deep meaning, Laura
Don’t let them test you.
Don’t let them know you dream while awake.
No wonder Socrates said know yourself. Self-awareness is what help us not allowing others test us.
Thank you, Ali. This is another part of some of our commenting conversations the past few months about knowing what to share, with whom, and when.
Thank you, Larry, what’s your favorite waking dream?
Love this!!!!
