Neko Case

...was beyond amazing.

.I want red hair. so. bad. The pictures suck because they are from my phone. :(

The moon was yellow.

It's been one week since you looked at me.one year since I got bit by a monkey.

It's my one year anniversary of the monkey bite. In honor of this special occasion I'm going to (for the first time) recount the story. (I've heard some pretty funny stories about what did and didn't happen from people who WEREN'T EVEN AT GOV. SCHOOL. What the...). But it's going to be later because John leaves for New Zealand in a few hours! :)

Sand Castle Syndrome

This morning I woke up and found my self with sand castle syndrome.
Someday soon the tide will come in and carry my sand castle away, while I was waiting for my dreams, destined to die unrealized.
And the ocean comes closer and closer everyday.

It is sand castle syndrome except it is happening.

This is just a reflection of what I've been waiting for all along.
I looked up and I looked down and the only thing I didn't find was time.
And before I know it the waves will be crashing over my head.
Broken hearts and fleeting memories in my wake,
Filling the hole in the sand where I once was, standing in my sand castle,
But look. How quickly the hole fills up.
We're all just holes in the sand. Fleeting memories in an eternal day.
Petrified at the ray of an unforgiving tide.

The Weight of Us

Something inexplicable dwells inside every human heart.
I want to make it come bursting out, shouting, from all your souls. Give me love, passion, and joy all rolled together.
The deepest appreciation just for being alive.
I want your chest to heave quickly and gasp out loud for breath stolen by laughter, like lovers, except more fulfilled. I want your eyes to be stung with tears from the simple realization that each breath taken is blessed, that you are beautiful, inside and out.
An esoteric anthem to a known few this is not.
This is an invitation, an outstretched hand to all.

Take it.

Reach for the brightest star, for an understanding that your soul will stem the outside pain. Pay no heed to the whispers spit in seeming silence or the stumbling blocks in life. An unrecognizable strength from inside will rescue you. Look for beauty in that darkest places. Harken to the cries for help. This searching will bring heartfelt smiles to many faces.

We are all living poets, blades of grass composing the greenest field.

Alone, we are beautiful, together, even more still.
