Reading: Towards Full Acceptance of Self

“‘Normality,’ says Howe, ‘is the paradise of escapologists, for it is a fixation concept, pure and simple.’ ‘It is better, if we can,’ he asserts, ‘to stand alone and to feel quite normal about our abnormality, doing nothing whatever about it, except what needs to be done in order to be oneself.’ –Henry Miller

From Henry Miller’s The Wisdom of the Heart as profiled in Brain Pickings.
