the black and green. pma. giant trees. bikes. brunch. raw treats. cutting hair. making new friends. waterfalls. wild berries. celtic history. moose. global travel. tetris. militant fun-employment. the brooklyn vegan straight edge game (aka "cookie bath," if you must). exchanging letters. climbing mountains. arts + crafts. photobooth pictures. kombucha floats. hanging out with deer. talking with the ents. drinking wild tea. smiling with my eyes closed in the sun. knowing the moon's phase even when i can't see it. the coming years in all their glory.
people who give a damn and are willing to do something about it.
friends to give me hope, quiet my crazy brain, and steady my erratic heartbeat.
"there's nothing to mourn about death any more than there is to mourn about the growing of a flower. what is terrible is not death, but the lives people live, or don't live, up until their death.
they don't honor their own lives, they piss on their lives. they shit them away. dumb fuckers. they concentrate too much on fucking, movies, money, family, fucking. their minds are full of cotton. they swallow god without thinking, they swallow country without thinking.
soon they forget how to think, they let others think for them. their brains are stuffed with cotton. they look ugly, they talk ugly, they walk ugly. play them the great music of the centuries and they can't hear it.
... most people's deaths are a sham. there's nothing left to die."
