there are some things about myself that i can’t explain to anyone. there are some things i don’t understand at all. i can’t tell what i think about things or what i’m after. i don’t know what my strengths are or what i’m supposed to do about them. but if i start thinking about these things in too much detail, the whole thing gets scary. and if i get scared, i can only think about myself. i become really self-centered, and without meaning to, i hurt people. so i’m not such a wonderful human being.

i dreamed a thousand new paths. i woke and walked my old one.
charles marville, rue tirechappe, from rue saint-honoré, paris, 1858-78
a bit sad the street doesn’t exist anymore. i’d have loved to have a look.
“if the world were merely seductive, that would be easy. if it were merely challenging, that would be no problem. but i arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. this makes it hard to plan the day.”

once,
when i was young,
an old man told me
the moon was made of moths.
that’s why it rises, he said,
and falls,
and why
sometimes pieces disappear,
flying off
to pollinate the stars.

remember: the time you feel lonely is the time you most need to be by yourself. life’s cruelest irony.
