HUGE fan of trees growing in places they should not reasonably be able to

To the mind that thinks itself into submission

To the mind that cant turn itself off

To the mind that fights just to get anything done

To the mind whos worst enemy is itself

To the mind that revels in mania

To the mind that needs more than it has

To the mind that is caged by emotion

To the mind that has to keep repairing itself

To the mind that is carrying half healed trauma

You are not your mind. You are not your body. You are an incarnation of an infinite idea. You are the tightly wound expression of the chaos of human life. You must learn your own vibration and harness it or be lost to the entropy of the universe.

So is there a way to use the natural magic of the world to create rune spells?

“When you shall say, “As others do, so will I. I renounce, I am sorry for it, my early visions; I must eat the good of the land, and let learning and romantic expectations go, until a more convenient season.” — then dies the man in you; then once more perish the buds of art, and poetry, and science, as they have died already in a thousand thousand men.”

— Ralph Waldo Emerson, Literary Ethics
