“The beauty of things must be that they end.”
– Jack Kerouac, Tristessa (via honeyforthehomeless)
This is the first Kerouac I read. I remember being entranced by the story. I should pick it up again.
I have been careless with so many things in my life. That is a statement I never wanted to write.
I have amazing people in my life. I live with two of the most open, loving, supportive women I have had the opportunity to know. I have a quirky, loving, kind, beautiful family. I am surrounded by friends that bring tears to my eyes as I write this thinking of them. Friends that have walked...
Hal: Well, let’s say that since you were little, you always dreamed of getting a lion. And you wait, and you wait, and you wait, and you wait but the lion doesn’t come. And along comes a giraffe. You can be alone, or you can be with the giraffe. Oliver: I’d wait for the lion. Hal: That’s why I worry about you.
I'm becoming Real...
“What is REAL?” asked the Rabbit one day, when they were lying side by side near the nursery fender, before Nana came to tidy the room. “Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out handle?”
“Real isn’t how you are made,” said the Skin Horse. “It’s a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but Really loves you, then you...

Pondering this today...
What I really lack is to be clear in my mind what I am to do, not what I am to know, except in so far as a certain knowledge must precede every action. The thing is to understand myself, to see what God really wishes me to do: the thing is to find a truth which is true for me, to find the idea for which I can live and die. … I certainly do not deny that I still recognize an imperative of...
Rainer Maria Rilke
I am much too alone in this world, yet not alone enough to truly consecrate the hour. I am much too small in this world, yet not small enough to be to you just object and thing, dark and smart. I want my free will and want it accompanying the path which leads to action; and want during times that beg questions, where something is up, to be among those in the know, or else be alone.

Looking at me is like seeing through...
