i want a howling hurt

Not Here

There's courage involved if you want
to become truth. There is a broken-

open place in a lover. Where are
those qualities of bravery and sharp

compassion in this group? What's the
use of old and frozen thought? I want

a howling hurt. This is not a treasury
where gold is stored; this is for copper.

We alchemists look for that which
can heat up and change. Lukewarm

won't do. Halfhearted holding back,
well-enough to get by? Not here.
