About Me

i've suddenly become very conscious of the lateness of things. my dream told me many things: that at the end of the world, the swimmers are the heroes. they spend their last hours delivering our messages of love from mountain to mountain. After technology has failed us, we die believing we are connected. i was also told about free will and the "special goodness."my name is cassie. i believe in art so much it hurts. those moments when it hits you so hard that your throat swells; it is then that i have derived my only sense of god. the soul is real because i can feel it in a song and in a scene of black and white... that's gotta be god. it just has to be. i don't believe in anything else... at least not as passionately. i am mystified."Her thoughts were silently fixed on the irreparable injury which too early an independence and its consequent habits of idleness, dissipation, and luxury, had made in the mind, the character, the happiness, of a man who, to every advantage of person and talents, united a disposition naturally open and honest, and a feeling, affectionate temper. The world had made him extravagant and vain--Extravagance and vanity had made him cold-hearted and selfish." --Sense and Sensibility, Jane Austen(oh sara, me too)."The figure a poem makes. It begins in delight and ends in wisdom. The figure is the same as for love." -Robert Frost.
