Dreaming is shameful, a perfect form of loss

About Me

'….but lulled into such an opium-like listlessness of vacant, unconscious reverie is this absent minded youth by the blending cadence of waves with thoughts, that al last he loses his identity; takes the mystic ocean at his feet for the visible image of that deep, blue bottomless soul, pervading mankind and nature: and every strange, half-seen, gliding, beautiful thing that eludes….in this enchanted mood, thy spirit ebbs away to whence it came; becomes diffused through space and time…Melville, Moby Dick.
