“Finally I am coming to the conclusion that my highest ambition is to be what I already am. That I will never fulfill my obligation to surpass myself unless I first accept myself, and if I accept myself fully in the right way, I will already have surpassed myself.”
Yep. Thank you, Victoria Valentine. Thank you, Hamsters. Forever grateful for this page.
When it’s too expensive to bring your wife to Reunion Weekend, but the universe finds a way to send her with you.
Steady on, Hamsters.
“China gets broken And it will never be the same Boats on the ocean Find their way back again I am weaving Like a drunkard Like a balloon up in the air I am needing a puncture and someone To point me somewhere I'm gonna keep my head on straight I just hope it's not too late Open up the gate I go straight on, steady on Steady on! I was feeling imploded A wooden smile, a wooden heart Then things exploded Like rockets in the dark Now I'm pulling out splinters And I'm off to hibernate somewhere For the nuclear winter Of another love affair Cause he seemed like a miracle I ate it up like cereal But it was something like shrapnel Steady on! It's like ten miles of a two-lane On a South Dakota wheat plain In the middle of a hard rain A slow boat or a fast train I am gonna keep my head on straight I'm gonna keep my head on straight Steady on!”

To Kim on our Anniversary * * * Love, I know you exist; your Earth surrounds my Soul. Steady ‘lighting branch, and daily learning lens - you show me my truth til I am undone. Try not to ache to pull me from words and thoughts and time - you saw me shining there and chose; your love notes sealed the deal. And I will not continue to tie my strings to you, no more a constant mooring than I, forever free. Forgive me for forgetting, as though I never knew, you always need a branch like me - you still need anchoring, too.
“In order to add more happiness to our lives, we need to slow down and notice all the painful things we do to ourselves and consciously make different choices.”
Sing directly into the mirror. Then off you go.
