This is such a handsome word. I don't know any other way to describe it. It has gravitas!

Red Queen's Wisdom
Desperation is the raw material of drastic change. Only those who can leave behind everything they have ever believed in can hope to escape.

William S. Burroughs

If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what is within you will destroy you.

Gospel of Thomas, 70
