A New Year Has Started

A new year has begun.

Also this year, all roads from East to West pass through the deserts of life endlessly past transience. But along these roads one can make the blessed pilgrimage to the Absolute, the journey to God.

Break open, my heart and go! The star shines. You can’t take much with you on the road. And on the roads much will be lost for you. Let it go.

Gold of love, frankincense of desire, myrrh of pain you have with you.
God will accept them. And we will find Him.
