My Interests

"The Journey," by Mary Oliver.

I'd like to meet:

The beautiful ones. Good listeners. Careful readers. Broken hearts. Brimming hearts. Fellow students. Romantics. Cynics. The Undead. The Hopefuls. Smart People. Inspiring People. Epiphanies. The Blissed-Out. The Bummed-Out. Rilke, who said, in Letters To A Young Poet:I want to beg of you, as much as I can... to be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a foreign tongue.Do not seek the answers, which cannot be given to you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything.Live the question now. Perhaps then, gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answers.
