In speaking to a friend this afternoon it was good to confirm that other people are just as fucked up as I sometimes think I am. hahaha... okay.... that was harsh, not only to myself but to my friend. What I simply mean is that nothing is as it seems and that the strongest sheet of armor doesn't protect from the stealthy inner lining of our souls.

Honey, I dearly love you. I wish you would come home to me, to these arms & this life, but I know you can only do what is right for you. These hands just get older, and the pictures gather dust.

Imagine a picture in your head of a thousand stars in the sky. Imagine those stars becoming brighter and brighter; intensity not burning, not forcing your to squint. Then everything is light, all points in the sky joined--togetherness. You are everywhere in the instant of a thought. Every thought of every star is absorbed and understood. Being Born. Dying. The search for the same in between.
