The purity of innocence is too easily exchanged for corruption of knowledge.

How quickly we forget the needy when they cease to make their needs known.

How quickly we grow complacent toward the needy who actually do make their needs known.

Please stop interrupting our meals to speak of your hunger.

I'm not in the mood for Christmas music and I'm not sure I will be. That could change I suppose.

I think that undertakers probably don't make many friends because they're always trying to put people into a box.

Aa You Wish

I showed you freedom
You showed me boundaries

I taught you to sing
You told me to be silent

I told you to speak
You told me to listen

We were alone and together
We were together and alone

Just Keep Swimming

There are those times when nothing seems to go our way, when nothing goes as planned or we just don't get what we want.
Only later to realize just how screwed we would have been had our wishes been granted.
It happens all the time for me.
Thank God for giving me what I need rather than what I want, as much as I may lament it in the moment.
It's tough for the finite to know sometimes, if getting what makes us content for now might just wind up making us miserable for years to come.
So when everything seems totally fucked, hang in there.
Your misery may only be one step in the process...
...then again, maybe you really are totally fucked.
Who knows?
You just gotta wait and see, I guess.

If what you're saying is being heard, then you aren't saying it loud enough.

Falls, Leaves

"If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?"

A question that should not leave any question about the self important role humanity plays in creation.

All of my love

You take away my hands and think I refuse to tie your shoes

You take away my eyes and think that I can't still see you

You take out my heart and squeeze and think that I won't live

But don't think you're taking everything I choose to give

Mud Balloons

If helium filled balloons were​ to represent the good in life, and mud the bad, then my life would be balloons as far as the eye could see.

You wouldn't even notice the mud until you were sinking hopelessly deeper into it.

A better version

A lot of people in the pillow industry are real downers.

Not a Real Green Dress

Sofia: I wish we had million dollars so we could buy the stuff we need.

Me: Me too buddy, me too.

aTTic

Play Ping Pong... if you've got the balls for it.

Just Like my Dear Papa

A person who cuts down trees in their sleep is a slumber jack.

Greece is the Word

Mad magazine made a very lasting image on me when I was a kid with a comic featuring Olivia Neutron Bomb and John Revolting.

That's really all I remember about it, but that was enough.

Me My Mind
