Assuredly will lie
But none will pass the Catacomb
So chastened as the Fly - "

My great religion is a belief in the blood, the flesh, as being wiser than the intellect. We can go wrong in our minds. But what our blood feels and believes and says, is always true. The intellect is only a bit and a bridle. D. H. Lawrence

“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.” ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

“What i’m saying is, my friends, one ought to be able to let go. If a path does not please us, instead of insisting on going that specific way, of making our selfishness the guide, we ought to forsake. The books we cannot write, the films we cannot shoot, the projects we cannot develop, the jobs we cannot pursue and the people who no longer love us. Being able to let go, at times, is the most beautiful of all!” ― Elif Shafak

“Mistake is an event not a person” ― Aniekee Tochukwu

Tierney · 05-31-2015, 03:51 PM

“Letting go is never a sign of failure, letting go is knowing what battle to fight and what battle to "let it be".. Letting go doesn't mean that you don't care anymore, it is just directing your false hope to something more worthy of your emotions, energy and time.. Letting go is simply taking charge and control over yourself rather than fighting windmills like a modern day Don Quixote...”

― Zena Abou Alnaser

“No old road leads to new destinations! Change begins when one realizes that it is unwise to pour a new wine into an old wine skin. If you change your mind, you have to change your actions too!” ― Israelmore Ayivor

“I feel I change my mind all the time. And I sort of feel that's your responsibility as a person, as a human being – to constantly be updating your positions on as many things as possible. And if you don't contradict yourself on a regular basis, then you're not thinking.” ― Malcolm Gladwell

Badlands
--------------
he drove a caravan of hearts
"this is the last stop", he said.

but it chases me to sleep
and still wraps its arms
around the highway north

turn the caution light down flat
and take me to places
where I
float in your river of
willow trees
where your branches are still
timbered doors
that I can't break down

I am no lumberjack
but, I know there is a
city wet with light
kerosene dripping heartbeats
two steps from the sun

but, I live for this
addiction and the
rush of street lights
pounding above my head, you
do that to me
that spiraling light
past the city limits
but we're still so far away
a mountain of
phosphorescent years --
