the internal law

softness is deadly

you cannot be soft

Cut into The Unicorn, the demon of Mars.

Behold the bone that makes the flesh.

On an empty piece of paper, write out this law.

Hold this paper, at night or in a dark room, and ask the darkness to show you all the ways in which you have adopted this permission structure.

Tell the darkness you are ready to dissolve this bone.

recording or journaling is recommended for whatever responses to this prompt emerge
