    Time Event
    9:19p
    crowded buses
    Stuttering at the strangeness of a stranger's questions, I become unable to answer the slightest queerie.
    Caught off-guard in my want to be part of the background, I have been spotted unendurably pained.
    We clothe ourselves in countless layers to keep out the shards of light desperate to pierce the impervience.
    We ply ourselves with sugar and alcohol, and countless other drugs to numb our systems, yet cry out "free me from dispairity!"

    Like you, I am shadowed and held deep within (beneath) myself.
    Sand underfoot.
    I am unaware of so many of those around me yet cling to the need for company and attachment.

    In Buddhism, we learn that suffering comes from attachment and desire and only when we free ourselves of this can we be wholly pure and free of suffering.
    For me, there is a hole in every belief system, a piece I scrutinize and analyze and pick apart to see what purpose it has, if any. Many see this as a negative quality or habbit, I think it means i am simply unsatisfied with the way things are and strive to change. I have not yet decided if this is good or bad -- it just is for now.
    Perhaps I should rather strive to accept that which I view unsatisfactory.
    Perhaps i am wrighted where I stand.




    suffering

    Current Mood: freezing
    10:22p
    speaking of fires and cages...
    I'm standing on the stage
    Of fear and self-doubt it’s a hollow place
    But they’ll clap anyways







    thank you.




    for everyone and anyone who has lost or is losing hope:

    you want nothing from me but play and touch with dry hands...
    ...someday you will love me back
    right now you're just dependant

    i spend hours in solitude
    drowning in puddles of wet water goodness

    the words are all gone.
    i swooned to myself in prose and promise
    and only the words fall freely with the rain
    i can't
    inside
    with the
    a.lone
    and the only thing i've ever known

    she
    here
    who speaks
    is only here
    on occassion
    she
    here
    who speaks
    is hiding under the acquiese of the morning
    and the starlight and the
    no one else is here

    i hide my words in unconcious nature
    desperate to share them
    desperate
    desperation
    slow down slow down
    cut my words
    in invisible symbols
    and attempt the reattachment to my soul

    cliches of embarkment
    they are running
    chase after them
    in.
    hale.
    ex.

    pour down, my lovelies
    truths are necessary to the unfolding
    i
    can
    hear
    you
    breathe into me
    i
    can
    hear
    you
    my chest
    pulsating expanding tightly
    holding faststrong to my words

    i will
    release(leash)
    you
    words.
    full of heaven and hell and all the darklightdark in between the
    inbetween.

    i must first learn to comfort the frustration and hold tight and soft the incurable likeness of being.

    Current Mood: breathing

    oh lordy, pick a bale 'o hay...
    "One way a moral judgment can go wrong--and sometimes shown to go wrong--is by failing to be impartial. To say that the opinion is represented as being impartial is not to say that it will be successful in actually being impartial. If you are not (even) representing that the opinion is impartial, then the opinion is not a moral opinion at all. If you are representing that the opinion is impartial, and, in fact, it is not, then the opinion is a moral one, but it's just not a good one."

    - Stephen Cohen from "The Nature of Moral Reasoning: The Framework and Activities of Ethical Deliberation, Argument and Decision-Making."
