she understood something in this music that i don't
i can't hear what she heard
i cannot.
what is it that the brain is processing
how the ears
hear.
the range,
the richness
the words...concepts.
here in these lyrics
that i still cannot hear
but it is here.

worth it
it was worth it, for having been allowed
to walk where I've walked
which was to
hell on earth
heaven on earth
back again
into
under
far in between
through it, in it, and
above.
-- Gia Marie Carangi

opposites
It might be more constructive to consider apathy as the opposite of both love and hate. If this is true, it would be possible to experience one without the other, each existing independently based on its source.

other times
"if in twilight of memory we should meet once more, we shall speak again together and you shall sing to me a deeper song."
i continue to hear the words
and have grown to understand more.
pensive smile to a former teacher who introduced me to Gibran many years ago.

wind
...asking questions of the wind
in its stillness
in its treachery
asking questions of the wind...
in its stillness
in its treachery
asking questions of the wind...

"she knew it's like trying to explain
bach's double concerto to the profoundly deaf,
the swell in your blood when the two violins come together
finally, in the last measure"

dormitive principles
"The range of what we think and do
is limited by what we fail to notice.
And because we fail to notice
that we fail to notice
there is little we can do
to change
until we notice
how failing to notice
shapes our thoughts and deeds"

one day
she said, "one day you will realize it's no fun fooling a fool. at some point you wake-up and realize - i was fooling a fool. not so clever really. not so clever of me after all."

Fog
"Fog is a collection of water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the air at or near the Earth's surface. While fog is a type of a cloud, the term "fog" is typically distinguished from the more generic term "cloud" in that fog is low-lying, and the moisture in the fog is often generated locally (such as from a nearby body of water, like a lake or the ocean, or from nearby moist ground or marshes).
Fog is distinguished from mist only by its density, as expressed in the resulting decrease in visibility: Fog reduces visibility to less than 1 km (5/8 statute mile), whereas mist reduces visibility to no less than 1 km (5/8 statute mile)."

Departures
"I wanted to say goodbye to someone, and have someone say goodbye to me. The goodbyes we speak and the goodbyes we hear are the goodbyes that tell us we´re still alive."
