... when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another ...

Elizabeth Mayville  


Alex Jackson

 The life that they gave us to live, we lived. 

 Pity those who wait with such patience...

 If I were fire, I'd burn the world away (...) 

 If I were water, I'd let it drown...

 one as you were with your silence; 

 seeing your shadow grow and diminish, 

 lose itself in the other shadows, in the other 

 world that let you go yet held you back. 

 This sorrow that no one understand and that I love, 
 that I love through hatred and contempt for the human lie. 

Shohei Morimoto



 “Do you know the feeling, when your heart is so hurt,  
 that you could feel the blood dripping?”  


Brian Rea 

 Water does not resist. Water flows. When you plunge  
 your hand into it, all you feel is a caress. Water is not  
 a solid wall, it will not stop you. But water always goes  
 where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand  
 against it. Water is patient. Dripping water wears away  
 a stone. Remember that, my child. Remember you are  
 half water. If you can't go through an obstacle,  
 go around it. Water does. 




 ...sweeping the living room for sings of you...
