my soul is a dark forest - a photo on Flickriver

my soul is a dark forest

View Large

While I don't completely subscribe to Lawrence's ideals, it is a thought provoking passage nonetheless.

“This is what I believe:
That I am I.
That my soul is a dark forest.
That my known self will never be more than a little clearing in the forest.
That gods, strange gods, come forth from the forest into the clearing of my known self, and then go back.
That I must have the courage to let them come and go.
That I will never let mankind put anything over me, but that
I will try always to recognize and submit to the gods in me and the gods in other men and women.
There is my creed.”

D.H. Lawrence
