About Me

+
I liken myself to an empty living room, owned by new tenants, still undefined, baring no resemblance of character, yet. A simple structure minus any creative decor or configuration. And I wait for inhabitance, for life, for a couch that does not fit quite right, for any form of uniqueness to push me closer to what I am supposed to be.

Such a beautiful metaphor to redefine the meaning i have been searching for,giving me just a little piece of holy purity, to cling to, supposed help to find the beauty amongst the awfully obscure, supposed life defined by reason that is both granted and taken for.

"Should you see your Maker's face tonight,
Look Him in the eye, look Him in the eye, and tell Him:
I never lived a lie, never took a life, but surely saved one.
-mjk/tool-
Someday after mastering winds, waves, tides and gravity,
we shall harness the energies of love, and then, for the second time
in the history of the world, man will discover fire.
-Teilhard de Chardin-
