Brought to you by YouThink.com quizzes and personality tests.------------------------------------------------------ ----- Ask me where I have been and I’ll tell you: “Things keep on happening.” I must talk of the rubble that darkens the stones; of the river’s duration, destroying itself; I know only the things that the birds have abandoned, or the sea behind me, my sorrowing sister. Why the distinctions of place? Why should day follow day? Why must the blackness of nighttime collect in our mouths? Why the dead?If you question me: where have you come from, I must talk of things falling away, artifacts tart to the taste, great, cankering beasts, as often as not, and my own inconsolable heart.Those who cross over with us are no keepsakes, nor the yellowing pigeon that sleeps in forgetfulness: only the face with its tears, the hands at our throats, whatever the leafage dissevers: the dark of an obsolete day, a day that has tasted the grief in our blood.Here are the violets, swallows— all the things that delight us, the delicate tallies that show in the lengthening train through which pleasure and transience pass. -----------------------------------------------------------I think my greatest power is my madness, which gives rise to many different creations and occasional sparks of genius. Some would say I turned out allright, others would say, so thats whats wrong with him... I make things, all kinds of things with whatever I can get my hands on. I recycle even if its melted down and pounded out on an anvil with sweat to make something new and sometimes end up with a thing of beauty. Not many men buy jewelry so I make delicate things to sell to women. But men are not prone to buying delicate things, so some of my creations are heavy and dark with the soul of the fire woven into their being. I like it hot, 3000 degrees is about right, so when I step out into the 90 degree day I have free air conditioning. I search for the flaws in things to craft my vision into it and listen for it to tell me what it wants to become. I hunt for trees which have struggled to live for years and plant them in my garden of bonsai because they have good character. I am never really happy unless I can see the stars at night, but storms offer more entertainment than television gives me these days. Oh and turtles are way scary, mostly just the giant snapping turtles in the swamp."nObody sits like this rock sits."You rock, rock. The rock just sits and is.You show us how to just sit here, and that's what we need."
