Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry, the philosophy which does not laugh and the greatness which does not bow before children.
- Kahlil Gibran
I am the dreamer and the dream. I am the everything that is nothing, the spark of the soul, fire of the heart, ember of love. I am up and down, top and bottom, strange and charmed. I am the woman clothed with the sun and the child swaddled in darkness. I am the tissue of contradiction, the eye in the needle, the needle in the eye. I am insubstantial and absolute idea and the hammer that shatters your skull. I am the color you have not named, the light which makes all visible except itself. I am the wave of reason, the particle of faith. I am the star in the cosmos and the atom with the universe inside. I don't seek, I find. I am the writing on the wall, the unutterable speech of the stone.
- John Dufresne on the Virgin Mary, Louisiana Power & Light
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are You Not To Be? You are a Child of God. Your playing small Doesnt serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are born to manifest the Glory of God that is within us. ALL of Us. And as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
- Nelson Mandela '94
...Only we two are one, not you and night,
Nor night and I, but you and I, alone,
So much alone, so deeply by ourselves,
So far beyond the casual solitudes,
That night is only the background of ourselves,
Supremely true each to its separate self,
In the pale light that each upon the other throws.
- Wallace Stevens
"Re-statement of Romance"
im me and i cant really explain myself.
Im quiet. Im shy. Im sarcastic. Im artistic. Im short. ha ha. Im a nerd at heart. I love to read and i hate being outside and i despise tans on me. The only way I like to be outside is if its cold and I am not forced to move around a lot. lol.
but yea... i enjoy going out...but i do not do it as much as i would like to because of the lack of friends and places to go around here. blah.
im horribly boring. and i have no idea why anyone would be the least bit interested in me. so i apologize in advance for any boredom that i may cause in future conversations.
lets see what else....... oh. i absolutely suck at video games. i cant even deal with super mario brothers (the very first one) let alone the stupid games on my cell phone. seriously. i have no hand eye remote control cordination. haha. good times.
but i do love to write. and sketch..and listen to music....especially music. i think its the only thing that keeps me sane at times. i think i have a song for every memory in my head. so basically i remember my life in lyrics. if that makes any sense at all.....
but yea. i pretty sure i have turned away people by this paragraph alone so i will stop. and save cyber face while i can.
