“Personal transformation can and does have global effects. As we go, so does the world, for the world is in us. The revolution that will save the world is ultimately a personal one.” Marianne Williamson

“Seeing, contrary to popular wisdom, isn’t believing. It’s where belief stops, because it isn’t needed any more.” Terry Pratchett

I’m ridiculously tired; yet I sleep over twelve hours a night and take naps during the day.

Trying to ponder my boredom and clear depression (which I have been trying to deny) gets me no where.

I have a lover, yet we have very little passion. We understand each other mentally and physically; but we’re both bracing ourself for his leaving: he’s traveling far away from me in a matter of weeks. Closeness and emotional intimacy isn’t exactly an option.

My dearest friend is going through the same bouts of depression as I am. We’re both tired constantly. I can see that she’s not doing well, in the same rut as I.

So what do I do? Do I meditate on this? Should I search for the passion and lust and romance and thrill I’m craving? Or should I embrace the zen life and accept my own mediocrity? I don’t know; I have no clue.

“You wander restlessly from forest to forest while the Reality is within your own dwelling. The Truth is here! Until you have found God in your own Soul, the whole world will seem meaningless to you.” Kabir

“I say that intentionally.
I am not a lesbian. Not bi. Not straight. Not pan. Not gay.
I am queer. Intentionally. I intentionally use this term although others may apply.
Because being queer is political. It is fucking shit up. It is reconstructing broken elements. It is loving multiple sexes and genders and expressions, alone and simultaneously.
When I fuck my partner it is queer. When I am fucked it is queer. When I fuck myself it is queer.
My dress is just as queer as my combat boots.
I am always queer. Intentionally.” Femmes and Family: I am Queer Intentionally

  • Interviewer: Does something bother you? How can you write poetry if you are not bothered by something?
  • Leonard Cohen: I'm bothered when I wake in the morning. My real concern is to discover whether or not I am in a state of grace and if I discover that I am not I go back to bed.

“Don’t be afraid. The future is not disguised
       as sleep. It is a tango. It is a waterfall between

two countries, the river that tried to drown you.
       It is a city where men speak a language

you can fake if you must.” Traci Brimhall, from “Through a Glass Darkly”

“When the starry sky, a vista of open seas or a stained glass window shedding purple beams fascinate me, there is a cluster of meaning, of colors, of words, of caresses, there are light touches, scents, sighs, cadences that arise, shroud me, carry me away, and sweep me beyond the things that I see, hear, or think. The ‘sublime’ object dissolves in the raptures of a bottomless memory. It is such a memory, which, from stopping point to stopping point, remembrance to remembrance, love to love, transfers that object to the refulgent point of the dazzlement in which I stray in order to be.” Julia Kristeva, Powers of Horror: An Essay on Abjection, trans. Leon S. Roudiez

The first short story I’ve written is “lovely, but not worthy of submission” according to my professor. I feel stumped and silly for putting so much effort into something only to discover I’m not as fabulous as I once thought I was.
