think-ing


i know that you understand
all that i am,
all that i think,
and all that i do

but do you understand the
power of your words?
the strength that you hold?
the energy that you bring
forth in the form of a
breath, a sigh, a whisper?

it pushes all thoughts
away from my head
and into a void
that you continue to fill.

moment

understand that we have so much ahead of us,
so incredibly much and so little behind us,
so very, very little.

echo


i'm sorry you saw that
and i apologize for the
pain? i apologize for the
truth that it exposed.
have you ever known me?

i've lost my "mind".

When I consider Thy heavens, the work of Thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which Thou hast ordained;
What is Man, that Thou art mindful of him? and the son of Man, that Thou visitest him?
For Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honor.
Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of Thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet:
All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas. [Psalm 8]


it seems that it is hard to deny that man is a most unusual species of being. many others are better adapted to their environment, faster, stronger, etc. what is it then that seperates us from all others? some suggest that our most extraordinary characteristic is our capacity to conceptualize the world and to communicate those conceptions symbolically.

i think that it is the idea that we have no udnerstanding of what we are. at the best level, we can attempt to explain things, but when you get down to it, we have no clue what is happening. we are so complex. we are so unique.

i don't know what to think anymore. it's amazing.

not an accident



love, ever unsatisfied, lives always in the
moment that is about to come.
