    Some of us remember how as children, feeling our hearts to be cold and inert as pieces of lead, we embraced our deaths.

    The 'out there' with all of its promises of success and fulfillment is a liar.

    "When a man's an empty kettle,
    He should be on his mettle
    And yet I'm torn apart.
    Just because I'm presumin'
    That I could be kinda human,
    If I only had a heart.
    I'd be tender — I'd be gentle
    And awful sentimental
    Regarding Love and Art
    I'd be friends with sparrows
    And the boy who shoots the arrows
    If I only had a heart. "

    Songs from my Christian beginnings.

    "At the Moment" - Stavesacre

    "
    with a sigh i greet the day
    the morning on my face
    weary at the moment i awake

    even as i lie
    the thought returns to mind
    "welcome to the rest of your life".

    somewhere i've lost my way
    from saved to stray and failing
    in silence my spirit pleads,
    "is the vision lost
    or has it been passed on?
    is there any use continuing?"

    my soul will wait
    my soul, wait silently
    for God, my God (God my refuge)
    and i will live
    and i know some destiny
    still waits for me

    his faithfulness, my hope
    it brings comfort to my soul
    with a still small voice whispering,
    "call upon my name and i
    will set you up on high
    be still and know that i am God"

    creation speaks to me
    i'm stricken to my knees
    in reverance and fear
    forever my Almighty

    the heavens in your hand
    surpass the grains of sand
    who am i before you
    Elioenai! Eli Adullam!
    "

    "Wither/Ascend" - Stavesacre (without the musical transitions... tch.)

    "the pain will come
    with the morning sun
    will the night betray the day
    blistered skin
    withered from within
    scratch to shed this shell away
    will you know my name
    or will i hang my head in shame
    will someone take this tired skin
    that i've been dying in
    will someone hold me to the light
    and if I die tonight
    then take this broken man
    and wrap me tight within
    this brand new skin

    -/-
    

    watch me fly
    freedom like wings and i will use them
    freedom like wings and i will spread them wide

    watch me fly...
    freedom my wings...
    freedom my wings...

    and rise...!
    Oh, and I will rise...!

    one day my ashes will return to earthly slumber
    spread far and wide across the desert and the sea
    until then i will live each day in awe and wonder
    look forward to each sunrise

    "

    A favorite text used in the Suzuki acting method:

    "Midway on my life's journey
    I found myself in dark woods
    The right road lost

    To tell about those woods is hard
    So tangled and rough and savage
    That thinking of it now

    I feel the old fear returning
    Death is hardly more bitter."

    —Dante

    Love and Will

    To add to this conversation:

    Don't. Not under any circumstances. It's always like that. Well, usually. I did. It wasn't like I was expecting. I wasn't, and that's that. Mostly, almost impossible, but really very much, yeah. A lot. I can't talk about it. It's of the utmost importance, particularly that.

    93, 93/93.
