About Me

my name is autumn.
and I want to remember everything.

"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Enter, you who are blessed by my Father! Take what's coming to you in this kingdom. It's been ready for you since the world's foundation. here's why:
I was hungry and you fed me,
I was thirsty and you gave me a drink,
I was homeless and you gave me a room,
I was shivering and you gave me clothes,
I was sick and you stopped to visit,
I was in prison and you came to me.'
Then those people are going to say, 'Master, what are you talking about? When did we ever see you hungry and feed you, thirsty and give you a drink? And when did we see you sick or in prison and come to you?' Then the King will say, 'I'm telling you the solemn truth: Whenever you did one of these things to someone overlooked or ignored, that was me- you did it to me. "
-matthew 25

My Interests

"God's Spirit is on me;
He's chosen me to preach the Message of good news to the poor,
Sent me to announce pardon the prisoners and
recovery of sight to the blind,
To set the burdened and battered free,
to announce, " This is the year that God will work."
-Luke 4

Books:

"Once I spoke the language of flowers,
Once I understood each word the caterpillar said,
Once I smiled in secret at the gossip of the starlings,
And shared a conversation with the housefly
in my bed.
Once I heard and answered all the questions of the crickets,
And joined the crying of each falling dying
flake of snow,
Once I spoke the language of the flowers....
How did it go?
How did it go?"
-shel siverstein. possibly the best author i have come across in my years.
And I despise your books, I despise your wisdom and the blessings of this world. It is all worthless, fleeting, illusory, deceptive, like a mirage. You may be proud, wise and fine, but death will wipe you off the face of the earth as though you were no more than mice burrowing under the floor, and your posterity, your history, your immortal geniuses will burn or freeze together with the earthly globe.
You have lost your reason and taken the wrong path. You have taken lies for truth, and hideousness for beauty. You would marvel if owing to strange events of some sorts, frogs and lizards suddenly grew on apple and orange trees instead of fruit, or if roses began to swell like a sweating horse; so I marvel at you, who exchange heaven for earth. I don't want to understand you. -Anton Chekhov

If you hold your breath

If you hold your breath for too long you start to get a little lopsided and start forgetting things so I've decided I'm never holding my breath too long because I want to remember everything....
