“…for the time being I gave up writing- there is already too much truth in the world- an overproduction which cannot be consumed!” –Otto Rank

His disciples said to him: On what day will the kingdom come? [jesus said:] It will not come while people watch for it; they will not say: Look, here it is, or: Look, there it is; but the kingdom of the father is spread out over the earth, and men do not see it. –Gospel of Thomas Saying 113

“Real poetry doesn’t say anything, it just ticks off the possibilities.” –Jim Morrison

Now you’re climbin’ to the top of the company ladder
Hope it doesn’t take too long
Cantcha you see there’ll come a day when it wont matter
Come a day when you’ll be gone

I understand about indecision
But I don’t care if I get behind
People livin’ in competition
All I want is to have my peace of mind.
–Boston, “Peace of Mind”

Darkness at the break of noon
Shadows even the silver spoon
The handmade blade, the child’s balloon
Eclipses both the sun and moon
To understand you know too soon
There is no sense in trying.

Pointed threats, they bluff with scorn
Suicide remarks are torn
From the fool’s gold mouthpiece
The hollow horn plays wasted words
Proves to warn
That he not busy being born
Is busy dying.

Temptation’s page flies out the door
You follow, find yourself at war
Watch waterfalls of pity roar
You feel to moan but unlike before
You discover
That you’d just be
One more person crying.

So don’t fear if you hear
A foreign sound to your ear
It’s alright, Ma, I’m only sighing.

– Bob Dylan, “It’s Alright Ma (I’m Only Bleeding)”

“Love is always patient and kind; it is never jealous, love is never boastful or conceited; it is never rude or selfish; it does not take offense, and is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other people’s sins but delights in the truth; it is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes. Love does not come to an end.”
–Corinthians 13:4
