WHEREVER YOU GO, GO W/ ALL YOUR HEART

philadelphia, john mark.. play me browse enjoy

 

hunting for gratitude

spend your days hunting
for gratitude.
you will bow
to the big ones at first:
health
love
roof over your head.
then one day
your world will splice
open into a thousand tiny experiences
that used to be knit together
into the density of life.
you taste them
holding each moment like a bird
in the cup of your palms
shocked
at how much joy
was out there
waiting.

 

"we enjoy being out in nature so much 

because it has no opinion about us"

-friedrich nietzsche

(german philosopher, classical scholar, critic of culture)

... so heaven meets earth like a

sloppy wet kiss

and my heart burns violently inside of my chest

I don't have time to maintain these regrets ...

sources : photos. poem. june 13th.

I met john mark mcmillan at a music festival once upon a time...  his down to earth honesty and care really does show. I'm not here to say he changed my life, but he did make one heck of an impression.

im found in the arms of love;
for your love it has saved my soul
I'll run to your arms of love

missing cellphone. losing money. my car was stolen in front of my home. yet a friend came by to give me her old phone. support poured in from the deepest unknown of their souls. how can I not be so appreciative? in the end - an attitude of gratitude is important... or you'll lose your mind.
