Goodbyes.

Goodbyes.

Its always so hard and emotionally sensitive, saying goodbye to my only biological child. It has made many things that were easily taken for granted grow too difficult to deal with. The simplest of Life’s treasures and everyday, “little things” now seem decadent and wrong to enjoy. When your grown-up daughter has seemingly CHOSEN homelessness […]

I know people have wondered about it: the way that one of my dearest friends passed out of this world in silence almost a year ago now – without a word from me about it on my blog. I have gnawed a hole in one cheek over her death and…

The Facade of Protection and Justice for our Children

The Facade of Protection and Justice for our Children

IF YOU ARE A SOCIAL WORKER READING THIS POST (OR ANY OF MY BLOG FOR THAT MATTER): Spare me your high and mighty remarks about the excellent jobs you all do in helping kids. The only effect that those posts ever have on me IS FAR from the one that you’re shooting for by defending […]

Loop.

This was how it always began, she knew; this was the miserably familiar feeling of progressing – long and far, and with much despair on the way – blood, sweat, tears – only to eventually carry you to the gut-wrenching realization that you’re patterning a circle – a loop, and nothing more. This seat in […]

You wanted it… you just had to get, you begged for it: a piece of me… and then, that was it – I did accept, the invitation sent, maybe ungraciously… I showed up one day, remember? when the skies were grey, guess you hadn’t been, expecting me… but there I…

Gone.

Gone.

Originally posted on Americana Injustica:
Would you be, any fonder of me, if I suddenly chose, to start listening? Would you decide, to more deeply confide, the darkness behind, your odd eccentricities? Shall I unbind, this heart of mine, lay it down on your table, where the other parts lie? I suppose you’d prefer, if…

Heavy.

Heavy.

Originally posted on Americana Injustica:
Now I lay me down to sleep again, in the grips of a dread that I slumber within, the same unforgiving and cramped position, wound up mentally and the ratcheting begins, the memories and tragedies flood fatally in, my body won’t sink and my mind only swims, things I regret…

Charlatanical.

Trappings

Trappings

Originally posted on Mocking Bird Down:
The trappings we drag, for the overnight stay in the damp, dark, cold to the touch; parts of the hell that we personally designed just for moments like these; when the world feels too small for how much we don’t feel.

Favorite Quotes:

"The heart is an artist that paints over what profoundly disturbs us, leaving on the canvas a less dark, less sharp version of the truth."
- Dean Koontz

“Words are the only bullets in Truth’s bandolier. And Poets are the Snipers.”
– Dan Simmons, Hyperion

"The greatest strength is gentleness."
- Iroquois Proverb

“And above it all the butterfly affect. The sure knowledge that the entire life of a human being is like a single day in that human's life: unplannable, unpredictable, governed by the hidden tides of chaotic factors and buffered by butterfly wings...”
- Dan Simmons, The Hollow Man

"Every expression of closeness has potential bite. Every smile reveals the teeth."
- Dean Koontz

"Better to light a candle than curse the darkness."
- Chinese Proverb

“The past is dead and buried. But I know now that buried things have a way of rising to the surface when one least expects them to.”
- Dan Simmons, Prayers to Broken Stones

"After I’m dead I’d rather have people ask why I have no monument than why I have one."
- Cato the Elder (234-149 BC)

"Well hey, these things just snap right off!"
- Gary Larson

“In the beginning was the Word. Then came the fucking word processor. Then came the thought processor. Then came the death of literature. And so it goes.”
- Dan Simmons, Hyperion

"There's nothing to writing, really...all you do is sit down at the typewriter and bleed."
- Ernest Hemingway

“It occurs to me that our survival may depend upon our talking to one another.”
- Dan Simmons, Hyperion

"Insanity is hereditary; you get it from your children."
- Sam Levenson

"Falsehood is cowardice, the truth courage."
- Hosea Ballou

"Sweater: n;
A garment worn by a child when its mother is chilly."
- Ambrose Pierce

"Stupidity has a price, and it always get's paid."
- Dan Simmons, (The Fall of Hyperion)

“So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion;respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life.Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people.Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide. Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend,even a stranger, when in a lonely place.Show respect to all people and grovel to none. When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living.If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision. When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way.Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.”

– Tecumseh
Native American of the Shawnee

An individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for the law.

– Martin Luther King, Jr.
