I want to unfold. I don't want to stay folded anywhere, because where I am folded, there I am a lie. And I want my grasp of things true before you. I want to describe myself like a painting that I looked at closely for a very long time, like a saying that I finally understood, like the pitcher I use every day, like the face of my mother, like a ship that took me safely through the wildest storm of all. -Ranier Maria Rilke

All tremble when there is a weapon,
Everyone fears death;
Feeling for others as for oneself,
One should neither kill nor cause to kill.

I just love this picture of my folks.  They were at my dad's 50 year high school reunion in Pennsylvania.  A long time ago now, which seems so amazing.

Life can only be understood backwards, but must be lived forwards.

floating.  floating.
eyes so tired rimmed w/ the ssssshhhh of the wind
outside my window
they should be closed but I insist on the lights instead
of the outline of the trees
shifting
against the black.
Don't even know if there's a moon out
waiting for the whistle of the train
I've heardohhowmanytimesnow in my
life?
turn off the on and just drift
into.
