Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009Pressing my way home
I’m testing out the water,
Sinking into love.
Planning to not plan has fallen through. Go figure. I’m still following my heart with reckless abandon. Interesting. It’s gotten me into so much juicy trouble, brought me so many tears, taken up so much time, and felt only perfect.
These posts have [...]
The World’s Day Off!
Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009Where the heck IS every-one?
She smiled, “they’re out having fun.”
“Today’s the day the world’s on break,
many aren’t even awake.”
I blinked and hardly caught the train
then tried to let it in my brain
“And at the end we all shall dance,
so don’t forget your comfy pants.”
“I guess I missed the memo, then.”
I said and started asking when
she [...]
Another Quote.
Sunday, September 20th, 2009I was watching Horton Hears a Who last night. One part really struck me — I can’t explain how much it resonated in me. (By the way, I really, really, really liked that movie.)
Anyway. The mayor of this town was told by that his world was in danger by a voice that [...]
I want to create
Sunday, September 20th, 2009I want to make,
to have,
to hold,
to shape,
to love,
to mold.
I want to give
and reach
and find.
I want to bend
and stand
and bind.
I want to be
and wait
and try.
I want to hope
and think
and die.
If we think we’ll ever grab it,
our delusions become habit.
Stepping further from the truth
casting off our precious youth.
Hm. That wasn’t nearly the end of the thought [...]
The Nonplanner
Thursday, September 17th, 2009I am conducting an experiment. It shall last exactly as long as it does. I have been trying half-assedly to be a non-planner for a while, but now I feel like really not planning.
I also feel like putting down a few thoughts that I suppose have become mantras for me. They mean [...]
Break the Silence
Monday, September 14th, 2009“Some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the call to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must speak.” -Martin Luther King Jr. 1967, in his A Time To Break the Silence sermon.
I am feeling inclined to actually listen and find [...]
Stumbleupon Created another New Post-Type
Monday, September 14th, 2009So. I stumbled upon a controversial six word story tonight. (At: http://www.sixwordstories.net/)
It reads, “Five Zombies. Four bullets. Two Zombies.” Did the protagonist shoot four zombies and succumb to the plague as the remaining zombie’s victim, or did they shoot three into zombies and one into themselves, preventing their own undead actions. [...]
I know you’re out there
Sunday, September 13th, 2009I used to wake up an hour earlier than usual before elementary school and high school — perhaps once a month, sometimes every day for a week or two. I’d go running. I remember beginning the conversation, “OK. Hi, God. Let’s talk.” These were fairly simple conversations, I thought. [...]
Quotes, the first installment.
Monday, September 7th, 2009Perhaps I’ll upload quotes I like. I happened to speak this one and want other people to read it.
“Embracing and trusting the artist within it is one of the most worthwhile investments a human can make.”
