“There is something beautiful about all scars of whatever nature. A scar means the hurt is over, the wound is closed and healed, done with.”

“He did not know what love was. And he did not know what good it was. But he knew he carried it around with him, a scabrous spot of rot, of contagion, for which there was no cure.”

“Humanity has advanced, when it has advanced, not because it has been sober, responsible, and cautious, but because it has been playful, rebellious, and immature.” -Tom Robbins

Dreaming permits each and every one of us to be quietly and safely insane every night of our lives. -William Dement

While I have concerns regarding social welfare, the environment, foreign relations, financial stability, and human rights I find I am rarely satisfied with political banter. Neither ‘side’ works for me. There seems to be no one who defines what I believe in. Politically Ambivalent? How many of us are like this? Yes, I voted this past presidential election, but only after much personal deliberation. I voted because I felt there were more possibilities with one candidate than another. But that candidate could have been anyone. I may forever be politically ambivalent and anonymous. At least until I feel like there are true options.

“the pain of love does not break hearts, it merely seasons them. The disappointed heart revives itself and grows meaty and piquant. Sorrow expands it and makes it pithy.

Embarrassment often hits my stubborn bone, resulting in rather righteous, irreverant behavior.

I had another dream last night where I woke myself up laughing. I don’t remember what was funny.

Then I had a nightmare.
