What do I know about self?

 In what ways does letting people in-

prosper or deteriorate personal gain,

reflect in personal doing or else.

"The things the pastor spoke of lay at a great distance from me, in a silent, sacred unreality; however beautful and valuable they were, they were not at all urgent or exciting.. those qualities in the highest degree"

VIA DEMIAN, HERMAN HESSE

Somewhere Over The Rainbow

You are the pedestal to be put upon.

Nocturne No. 7

this is all I have-
density
I have everything,

and it seems unfair

hard to hear it's definition

Today I will be open to compliments, without controlling them.
Today we took 50 staples out of my right foot and changed my antibiotic on the hour.
When we remember we are not in charge and our will is not in control-
we are restored again.
I am blessed.

Can't Do WIthout

"I'm going to tell you what to do

& you are going to do the exact opposite."

Keepsake

EXPECT

SOMETHING

BETTER

Don't you know the world is water?
you can't float on it, can't scare you
Afraid to swim it, No, you can't-
Just stay on land..
Somehow you got to break that water- kick and pull through it.
you cross each length with stride and strength.
You pace the course with even force-
your hand in front of hand

You go by stroke, by stroke, by stroke,
by stroke, by stroke.

You go by stroke, by stroke, by stroke,
by stroke, by stroke.

So meet me at the touch of water and take some laps with me.
Some free, some test
with our book and breasts.
We'll keep our style for the millionth mile-
and when it's more than we can stand

You go by stroke, by stroke, by stroke,
by stroke, by stroke.

Let others walk around an ocean, let others try to build across.
But you and me

fall in.
fall in.

never sure we'll survive, but we'llfind out how deep..
Learn the secrets they keep at the bottom where we arrive.

So let's jump.
Let's Jump.

We'll never know we're alive -

till we jump,
till we dive.

You go by stroke, by stroke, by stroke,
by stroke, by stroke.

So meet me at the touch of water,
and take the swim with me.

VIA JASPER IN DEADLAND, RYAN SCOTT OLIVER

"Then came the years when i had to recognize once again a primal drive within me, one that had to cower and hide in the permitted world of light."
