C13: from Old French esperit, from Latin spīritus breath, spirit; related to spīrāre to breathe
spiritus
Empty yourself of everything.
Let the mind rest in peace.
The ten thousand things rise and fall while the Self watched their return.
The grow and flourish and then return to the source.
Returning to the source is stillness, which is the way of nature.
The way of nature is unchanging.
Knowing constancy is insight.
Not knowing constancy leads to disaster.
Knowing constancy, the mind is open.
With an open mind, you will be openhearted.

-the Tao Te Ching-
In all chaos there is a cosmos,
in all disorder a secret order.
-carl jung-
for a time, imitating everyone else,
I preferred Myself. unaware,
i only heard my own name.
because i was in myself,
i did not deserve to know myself.
not until i left myself, did i see myself.
