nostalgia, regret, despair

the waves were extremely fun today, I had a great time at the Crypteria show last night and class was depressing, but I've had some good ideas lately and some new inspiration.

I've always lived in a state of transition in my mind, when I should have lived in the hear and now, just for the day at hand. i should have embraced who and where I was instead of living for a stage of life existing forever in the future. I just finished a book called Vagabonding: an uncommon guide to the art of long term travel, a few minutes ago, and NO it was not one of the souless self-help peace of shit books. Getting to the point, it made me realize something so simple and so fundamental that I'll put in to words by saying: When you are where you are, be where you are, physically and spiritually. So take that for whatever it means for you



A Song of The Rolling Earth

Whoever you are! motion and reflection are especially for you,
The divine ship sails the divine sea for you.

Whoever you are! you are he or she for whom the earth is solid and
liquid,
You are he or she for whom the sun and moon hang in the sky,
For none more than you are the present and the past,
For none more than you is immortality.

Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman
