the next best thing

new york calls to me in rain drops and puddles–
the pit pat tapping call to something more.
like your name on my lips, each pause intended.
each drop more important than the last.
but I know your song.
I know its volume and its capacity to fill.
it is not the rain which never ceases.
I am not suited by a place.
home is not tangible.
yet it is so easily described by tangible things.
things like you, new york.
and the next best thing.
A To Do List

To Do List
It’s really bittersweet that my To Do list actually looks like this. That, among all those other important things, I can easily, plainly spell out that terrible four letter word: divorce.

every door leads to a different path. but every path offers similar views.
a color unseen
Posted by Daniel in the good, the needs, the observations on December 29, 2009
Before a child understands the concept of ”color”, explaining to them what “red” is is not possible. You must, instead, show them what red is. We simply lack the words to describe color. We can list things that are red. We can talk about feelings and ideas that share the essence of the color red. We can talk about what the color red means to us. But in the end, without seeing it, you simply can’t understand it.
all the riches money can’t buy

They’re really not so different than us, wealthy people. You’d think with so much money and fame and fortune that their lives would be remarkably different. And on the surface they are. Everything they have is bigger, everything has nicer labels on it, and there are some problems that simply don’t exist when you have enough money to throw around. But once you get under the surface, everything else is the same.
postponing overwhelm
another tunnel
I’ve been tricking myself lately. Surprisingly, it’s been working, but I’m not sure for how much longer.
Fire Elemental
Fire Elemental
There is a time and place for everything. At least that’s what I’ve been told. But, for me, it is always time for change.
Me, in part, is not me.
Some mornings, just after I wake up and I pass through the bathroom, I stop for a second and look in the mirror. As I stand there I think, I am who I am. Some of me is good, some of me could use some work, but the whole thing is one package, ever changing, and yet constant in structure. A single thing that can either be accepted or rejected. This is good and right.
the curse of love
one follows another
What I want most is for myself and all of the people I have ever loved is happiness.
