On my Way...to Meet the Macaw!
My pastel moods
"Some murmur, when their sky is clear

And wholly bright to view

If one small speck of dark appear

In their great heaven of blue:....."

-Trench

...Women are fastidious, and now you know a bit about me.


THE ONLY LONELY

THE ONLY LONELY
"Deserted at his utmost need,
By those his former bounty fed;
On the bare earth exposed he lies,
With not a friend to close his eyes."

Random thoughts

Sometimes somethings happen to us, to people like us and even to beings unlike us which changes radically who we are and what we think of ourselves. And words like society, civility, tradition, culture become redundant and meaningless. What remains is something ethereal, fluid, that cannot be controlled with labels. When the only reality that appeals is the inability to feel anything, hurt, pain, love, joy. You only take pride in the animal being you are. Hunger and sleep are the only sensations and even they seem to be wanting to elude you. And at the final moment you realise that life has a penchant for fucking us all.
