light it up blue.

in lieu of autism awareness day, i want to share how i feel about autism.

i have never heard a laugh so wonderful as the laughs i hear from children with autism.

i have never been hugged more tightly than when i’ve been hugged by children with autism.

i have never laughed so hard as when i laugh with people with autism.

i have never seen more dedicated and loving parents as those parents of children with autism.

i have never seen such hope as i’ve seen in people and children with autism.

show your love support and wear blue today.

there is a solitude of space
a solitude of sea,
a solitude of death, but these
society shall be,
compared with that profounder site,
that polar privacy,
a soul admitted to itself;
finite infinity.

“I’m convinced that a select group of people are made to just take and never give. It’s not their fault. I have to think like this…otherwise, I’d probably just constantly be astounded by the amount of some people’s ability to be THAT self centered.”

"when all is said and done, the life of faith is nothing if not an unending struggle of the spirit with every available weapon against the flesh."

this side of paradise

I simply state that I’m a product of a versatile mind in a restless generation-with every reason to throw my mind and pen in with the radicals. Even if, deep in my heart, I thought we were all blind atoms in a world as limited as a stroke of a pendulum, I and my sort would struggle against tradition; try, at least, to displace old cants with new ones. I’ve thought I was right about life at various times, but faith is difficult. One thing I know. If living isn’t seeking for the grail it may be a damned amusing game.
