Being Alive
Let me be real. Let me take risks and feel alive. Numbness is the opposite of life, a slow, imperceptible death of the soul. What I have and who I am, I will feel. If it is sad, I won't run from that emotion. Better to hurt and be alive than to be numb and walk through life marking time. If I love I will lose and if I lose I will hurt, but I will love again. Feelings and experiences are cyclical like the seasons. I will dress for the weather by asking God to be with me so that I can be a living, breathing part of this world.
I will hold my space.
Death is Not Evil, Evil is Mechanical
Only the human being, absolved from kissing and strife goes on and on and on, without wandering fixed upon the jib of the ego going, yet never wandering, fixed. yet in motion, the kind of hell that is real, grey and awful sinless and stainless going round and round the kind of hell grey Dante never saw but of which he had a bit inside him
D. H. Lawrence
