somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond any experience, your eyes have their silence: in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me, or which i cannot touch because they are too near your slightest look easily will unclose me though i have closed myself as fingers, you open always petal by petal myself [...]

Recorded on Friday, 19 November 2010. Enjoy. Gratitude for “family” was, I think, the most often cited thanksgiving.
Be Kind
August 20, 2010
“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle…” — Plato In your life there may be the one. The one that you think of most often. The one that keeps you up nights. The one that you think of first as you stumble into the kitchen. Sure, you notice other ones. You [...]

Such are the fantastic dreams [...]
