eclipsed, but shining...still

About Me

I am a work of art in progress...impressionistic, yet refined. Deep, passionate, driven, artistic~ which all translates into: severely in debt, but unabashedly inspired. Perhaps it is part of being a Sagittarian, this intoxication to be self-actualized and become my potentials~ as everything in this life and beyond fascinates me, creating thresholds for understanding.I'm on daily expeditions within my self, and everything I excavate is but a mere artifact of an infinite universe comprised of the exact same elements as I am. In my world every emotion is valid, as is every thought~ there are no pieces which can stand alone and survive admirably.I often wonder: if there were no mirrors in this world would it be easier for us to see that in fact we are the cedars limbs, the African Womans tears, the animal lost and suffering~ would we then understand that we are each other inside and out? Think of how much negativity would dissipate from such a revelation! Myspace Layouts

I suppose if I resonate with you, we should see it as a sign. I love creative, intellectual, and passionate people...trail blazers compliment me nicely.I would really like to meet "Me." I thought I caught a glimpse of her one day, but she ran into a briar patch with a bucket full of blackberries... I was too afraid to follow.
You Are From Jupiter
You are exuberantly curious - and you love to explore newness.
Enthusiastic and optimistic, you get a kick out of stimulating intellectual discussions.
Foreign cultures and languages fascinate you. You love the outdoors, animals, and freedom.
Chances are you tend to exaggerate, so try to keep a lid on that.
If you do, you'll continue to be known for your confidence, generosity, and sense of justice. What Planet Are You From?

beautiful soldier~

there was something about his heart~ that touched my heart. So fragile~ his flesh having learned to be hard and tethered much as a floating leaf learns to accept the loss of control and simply drift. ...
