Holes

"The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for." Bob Marley

I've been feeling sad and a bit lonely as of late. There is this hole inside me that I just can't figure out how to fill. I try to distract myself with work, school, time with family, and friends yet there still seems to be something missing. I long for the day when I figure out what that something is. Until then, I find strength in myself, my writing and the people in my life who I feel lucky they decided to stick around.

why NOT be optimistic?

Something to ponder over your morning coffee or evening tea...

"It is very much easier to be tragic than it is to be comic. I have known people to embrace the tragic view of life, and it is a cop-out. They simply feel rotten about everything, and that is terribly easy."
(in part) Canadian novelist Robertson Davies

"Dialogue cannot be carried out in a climate of hopelessness." Paulo Freire

Airplanes

Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars?

I could really use a wish right now
Wish right now
Wish right now
