i will tow the weight

“If you’re going through hell, keep going.” Thanks Winston.

You know you’re humble and ready to grow when you decide to willingly expose your “faults.” In hopes of strength. In hopes of freeing myself from guilt/blame/anger/bitterness/resentment and all the other things that are healthy, but need to be reigned in. It is dark and it is a place to dig up and discover and bring light to for the purpose of planting seeds of change.

I kneel to the experience. To be better more whole. And to be grateful for the broken heart.

voices

NOW I make a leaf of Voices—for I have found nothing mightier than they are,
And I have found that no word spoken, but is beautiful, in its place.

O what is it in me that makes me tremble so at voices?
Surely, whoever speaks to me in the right voice, him or her I shall follow,
As the water follows the moon, silently, with fluid steps, anywhere around the globe.

All waits for the right voices;
Where is the practis’d and perfect organ? Where is the develop’d Soul?
For I see every word utter’d thence, has deeper, sweeter, new sounds, impossible on less terms.

I see brains and lips closed—tympans and temples unstruck,
Until that comes which has the quality to strike and to unclose,
Until that comes which has the quality to bring forth what lies slumbering, forever ready, in all words.

151 Voices, Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman.

get gone.

I’ve accepted the facts and the truth that there could be less fucks given about me. I am bitter as hell. This may make for a whiskey-induced (read as long) winter.
