wise fools

"The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls,
And whisper'd in the sound of silence."

deceptive

clothing hides bones like persona hides fragility

transition

I often forget that the word proactive actually has a negative connotation. it infers the anticipation of something expected to be difficult, painful, or even destructive. I am trying to actively eliminate proactive thinking in my life. because whether the destination is good or bad, my epiphanies generally happen en route.

I don't want to miss any more...

adventures in orthopedic surgery (part 1)

recovery is a process. scar tissue forms. we function. we move on. we try to forget. we ignore the pain. we develop a limp. and we keep walking.

but twisting fate can expose injuries that never quite healed.

and the examination required to diagnose the cumulative damages is never comfortable or easy. it takes time.

so the question is... what should we do with ourselves while we wait?

I believe

in god and love...
in karma and disco...
in evolution and myself...
in adrenaline and dopamine...
in new paint and recycling bins...
in vintage clothes and lucky charms...
in prime numbers and perfect squares...
in solitude and the existentialist dilemma...
in pheromone connection and cellular memory...
in the family dinner table and sunday newspapers...
in lucid dreaming and subconscious problem solving...

and maybe next time I'll believe in you.
