“I am the raindrop falling down,
Always longing for the deeper ground
I am the broken, breaking seas
Even my blood finds ways to bleed”
Restless, Switchfoot

dejection- an ode, by samuel taylor coleridge. very moving
Angria:
“Why do you always insist on taking the hard road?
Why do you assume I see two roads?”
I’ve always been asked this throughout my life, considering I don’t fit in the neat box that people construct for me.
@ Luci – Switchfoot is an amazing, awesome band. I have many favorite songs from them.
your life is your life
don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission.
be on the watch.
there are ways out.
there is a light somewhere.
it may not be much light but
it beats the darkness.
be on the watch.
the gods will offer you chances.
know them.
take them.
you can’t beat death but
you can beat death in life, sometimes.
and the more often you learn to do it,
the more light there will be.
your life is your life.
know it while you have it.
you are marvelous
the gods wait to delight
in you.
I am working on some new pendants inspired by quotes and poems. I am working on this one right now based on a Robert Frost poem
Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

“If you want to succeed in your life, remember this phrase:
The past does not equal the future.
Because you failed yesterday or all day today, or a moment ago or for the last six months, or the last 16 years, or the last 50 years of your life . . .
Doesn’t . mean . anything.
All that matters is what are you going to do, RIGHT NOW.”

“Something Borrowed” by Emily Giffin. I know, it’s ‘chick lit’, but the whole question of ethics in love really stuck with me. Can you really control who you fall in love with and when it happens? And how far do you go to make other people/society happy at the cost of your own happiness?
Heather:
s.u.s.a.n.: Thank you so much. I was very lucky and loved. I love her more every second of my life.
