I am here for Friends

About Me

"Not odd, just overly expressive...really."

"and the true path was as lost to me as ever
when you cut in front and lit it as you ran.
See how the true gift never leaves the giver:
returned and redelivered&quot--Don Paterson, my favorite Scottish poet.
______________________________
When it gets me depressed I find
That it's best with my chest high
As I stretch my lungs & express my love,
Hold my breath & forget my pride.
To reflect that the rest of our lives are a measure of time.
We may as well try to express some style.
I exhale my prayer
And follow it with my eyes as it fills the air

My Interests

chase this light with me

It's not like me not to have blogged for so long. What can I say, except that the line between feeling dried out and utterly saturated is very very thin.More and more, I am channeling my energy, recyc...

won't forget, can't regret what I did for love

Some days are the days that prove to you that your hard work has earned you a spot in a place you weren't sure existed: a spot in the land full of people like yourself, people who make you feel like y...

More and more, I seem to go back to my dead poet boyfriend, John Keats (who must certainly have been a Buddhist) and his idea of negative capability.I wrote my senior thesis for Dr. Doody's class on i...
