"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

Let me back in. Let me return. To where I'm me. Just me, and the closeness of myself. In the womb, the closet, the crawl space, the parting between the shrubs, the forts made of sheets and dining chairs, the hockey bag, sleeping bags, hide and seek - you won't find me. Hidden away in the comfort formed by the absence of space. I like it. No need to grow up, worry, talk, be someone. Where all that is, exists within arms reach, and the world doesn't extend past the boundary of darkness and light. Where I breathe in, breathe out, heart beats, ears tune to the ringing of silence. Where the past is the present and the future does not exist. Where I am alone, I am me, and I know who I am.

paradise

Well, sorry to all you internet explorer-using visitors, that last design+layout was a bit.. not right (I finally got a chance to see what it looked like the other day). So I decided to stick with a design that I knew worked, and give it an update. Some of the colours still need tweaking, but I'm happy enough with it to replace what I had before. The main photo is a small portion of the view from the condo the 'rents rented in Hawaii last week. The scale of the beach and waves still messes with my mind (that man should be at least 2x bigger than he is... shouldn't he?)

Maybe I'll write something more later. ArrivederLa amici.

the wings

I feel very different. I've tried over the past few days to form some sort of concrete thought to describe it. I've been unable to. The closest I can come is that the world feels very real to me... or maybe less real. And I feel as though I'm missing something. I don't know if it's something I ever had in the first place, or even if it is a thing at all.. maybe I'm missing memories, or the past in general? Or maybe I'm missing a future I haven't yet experienced? Either way, something seems off and I wish I knew what it was so I could start seeing what I could do to fix it.

The weather has been very interesting over the past few days. Late last week it finally stopped raining for a bit, to give us a perfectly overcast sky. As the days went on, the clouds slowly began to separate and some sunlight began to paint the landscape... quickly followed by a great wind storm over the weekend.

viaggio

The genitori are in Hawaii for a little over a week to take advantage of last-minute cheap airfare, and to get in one last vacation before dad starts his new job (yeah, 60+ and just got a new job; long, long story). That's nice for them. They called tonight to let me know they got to the condo and the views are amazing, and then mom made sure to hold the phone towards the ocean so I could hear the waves crashing. That was just cruel. But here I am now, home alone for 9 days... it's so nice.
