Things you can tell just by looking at her face
Once I sat down to write about this period in my life that seemed like an overstuffed bag of goodies — too much to contain, too little to give up. And out came everything I had felt and gone through, and everything I had imagined and everything that was true.
I'm shit scared of rollercoasters, but I guess once you get off happily scared and crazily controlled it would be nice to remember the ups and the exhilaration that came with them. And leave the downs where they were to begin with.
And now that I had gotten off the ride, so to speak, it felt wonderful to only remember the good stuff and it all came back to me so free and easy, like it was just meant to happen.
It doesn't always happen that you're lucky enough to stop and be aware of the exact moment when the lights dim or the waters recede or the doors shut, but when you do it's nice to stand back and have the images of those fading moments etched in your memory.
It's like your last glimpse of the Eiffel Tower or the snow on the Alps or the pyramids in Egypt or the glow of the Northern Lights — something you've enjoyed immensely but you know you will not be able to afford again.

Whatever may be the position of philosophy, whatever may be the position of metaphysics, so long as there is such a thing as death in the world, so long as there is such a thing as weakness in the human heart, so long as there is a cry going out of the human heart, there shall be faith in God....this is the sad state we will be living in.Fouled by DNA,or some such replicating monster we carry around..thinking it is us.The ME.

So probably we have enough emotinal material to excuse ALL wrong acts.Everything is justified.Done by Dna ...sorry.Digest this.Cause you have nowhere to go.
MORE>>>Sectarianism, bigotry, and its horrible descendant, fanaticism, have long possessed this beautiful earth. They have filled the earth with violence, drenched it often and often with human blood, destroyed civilization and sent whole nations to despair. Had it not been for these horrible demons, human society would be far more advanced than it is now. But their time is come; and I fervently hope that the bell that tolled this morning in honor of this convention may be the death-knell of all fanaticism, of all persecutions with the sword or with the pen, and of all uncharitable feelings between persons wending their way to the same goal.
WOULD YOU BELIEVE THIS WAS SAID IN 1893....by Vivekananda? In his speech in Chicago? Didn't help much did it?
