All the means of action - the shapeless masses - the materials -
lie everywhere about us. What we need is the celestial fire to change the flint into the transparent crystal,
bright and clear. That fire is genius.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

"We are in reality a group of misfits,
crazy people,
who have come together voluntarily to work this stuff out,
and do the best we can and try to be as fair as we possibly can with each other,
and just struggle though life."

~JerryGarcia~

Exactly Right by Charles Bukowski

the strays keep arriving: now we have 5cats and they are smart, spontaneous, self-absorbed, naturally poised and awesomely
beautiful.

one of the finest things about cats is
that when you’re feeling down, very down,
if you just look at the cat at rest,
at the way they sit or lie and wait,
it’s a grand lesson in preserving
and if you watch 5 cats at once that’s 5
times better.

no matter the extra demands they make
no matter the heavy sacks of food
no matter the dozens of cans of tuna
from the supermarket: it’s all just fuel for their
amazing dignity and their
affirmation of a vital
live
we humans can
only envy and
admire from
afar.

"Most people can look back over the years and identify a time and place at which their lives changed significantly. Whether by accident or design, these are the moments when, because of a readiness within us and a collaboration with events occurring around us, we are forced to seriously reappraise ourselves and the conditions under which we live and to make certain choices that will affect the rest of our lives." - Frederick F. Flack

The lights are off around me,
and I'm feeling the loneliness settle in
an eerie feeling of solitude engulfs the room.
I try to push the thoughts,
the wishy-washy feelings,
the insecurity
from my eager minded head.

I always come up empty handed,
living my life with my eyes closed
and always feeling like I've taken a solid
two steps backward from my destination
only to realize I'm where I want to be.

My childish dreams aren't so childish
and I avoid the constant chatter,
I hear the pitter patter of my heart beat
feeling the anxiety rise up through my throat
and those doubts from the chatter come back.

I'm losing the spark I thought I never had,
and instead light a match to guide my way.
It may be a temporary solution,
but I have confidence it will get me to my final goal.

A Spark, To Pierce The Dark by Britt
