appreciate

what's not
what is
not
what is

I sat in silence,

pondering implications of the fact that there is no me. Amidst this contemplation of emptiness and not being, my stomach growled audibly - I found no retort.

Forgiveness loves hate.

I have come to see that I have had much more of a hand in the unhappiness I've endured in life than I realized in the midst of all of the good intentions that brought it about. I must, at last, forgive myself.

To Björk:

It's not your voice that I hear in your music, it's you.

And it's me.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

Stirring.

To be enlightened, know that you are enlightened.
To be enlightened, know that you are not enlightened.

I could have woken up as Buddha, but I chose to wake up as myself - I do not know why.
God does.

I prefer and have forgotten the way I phrased this while driving.

My frantic labors have been towards crafting a net with which to capture the knowledge that no net can capture the knowledge that I seek.

Just what the fuck am I doing?

Would I be a liar to answer that?

I remember that one time,

you cried in my arms. It was amazing, to hold you, so much more dear to me than I'd ever intended you to become, and to listen to you cry. You were always so strong, so ready for anything; your sobs rocked us both while I inhaled and kissed your hair. How did I deserve an experience so beautiful? Wherever I go, I have seen enough love to last me. I'm still hungry for more; no longer do I feel a pressing need, but a very patient desire. I'm am content to wait.

I believe in the evolution of love, and not its death.

I believe that the utmost expression of faith is to live and act as we feel we should, rather than as we think we should.

The "Welcome Hat"

I want a "welcome" button for my hat; in that way, people may realize that it is, in fact, my "Welcome Hat." Yeah; it rests on the doorstep to each conversation, if someone chooses to cross that threshold. I so rule.
