I fly so high, then fall so low...

Exactly what you do not expect
in what will likely most
happen--
Something better, somewhere else
is always waiting.
And how about the simple
things. Like the woods?
To walk around in cirlces, to the side
in search of the spot or a plane
amongst the

...lands that show you hwo to live,
who you are and what you are suppose
to do. The whole fun of it is determinging
where you are going. The sans terre
will endlessly walk until they decide
to stop and what will stop the wanderer?
Some will only love the comforts
of home and will not venture far.
Others will want to break free and see
it all, yet they'll get tastes only to
remain. Others will get to see all that
they want and be content with their
situation.
For those stuck in the middle
They only have to remind themselves
that they have the ability to do what
they want and should flow with where
life takes you.
I have entered a chapter again.
This is a new year with similar
situations, familiar and troublesome.
I should avoid feeling trapped, take
advantage of myime...and attempt
to improve the space around me.
I want to try and not be a screwup,
perhaps my wints haven't completely
melted and I'm still inthe air avoiding
the dangerous sun. I don't wish to
crash again and appreciate the
second chance gift.
I'm going to hope that when the air
is warmer and the ground's mostly dry
I can find my spots out there where
I have talked before. A fire. The evening,
night. In, The woods. The woods.

From When I Was Happy January 12, 2009

i think i'm in trouble. not real trouble. no immediate punishment.

just the kind of trouble you get when you care too much.

i love him...you know? i feel silly and giddy, happy, and loved when i am with him.
I feel as though i am at a point where i am no longer worried about him leaving
(though he's made it clear this isn't going to last forever).

either way i'm turning to a mushy mess. and it's great.

i've never felt this way. i've been in love before, or maybe i was severely
infatuated with a really great person. my wild, handsome, genius.
and now i've replaced that love with something better.

she found me crying downtown grove city.
of course she was going to pick me up
she's a hippy, it would be bad karma
or something if she didn't see what was
the matter.
as we sat on the rock, smoking the bowl
she told me something i will never forget
'you are completely in love with something and nothing will ever
be as great, or so you think. now that it is over you imagine
life will never be the same, nothing will ever be as amazing
as what you once thought you had. one day, something will
come along and not necessarily replace but be so much better.
one day you will find yourself happier than you've ever been
and you'll wonder why what you lost before was ever so urgently
important, had you only known not to stress over the loss.'

Walking Towards

There is something really nice about snow in April.
And wearing some kind of sandal, the feet aren't cold.
I am currently surrounded by a complete mess.
There is no order of the space in which I inhabit.
I let you go outside. You will come back.

I found something. I was looking for something that I may have
permanently misplaced.
While looking I found something quite old and forgotten in my humidor.
It was fine to have but I had taken other things.
This time I know I shouldn't have.
But Perhaps now I will realize that I have to rationalize
in order to function. I have to keep my head on steady.
I have always enjoyed going all out, like a fighter or a
stubborn bull who just won't quit.
You have to be beat to be like that.
Or you are robbed of something you will not get back.
Some kind of glory.

But maybe it is time to get back to the essential.
What makes me happy?
How can I have it...without hurting anyone else again?
The answer seems simple.
I continue what I've always done but without bad.

I can continue to love you. Love myself. And everyone else.
I will still know that I prefer the sans terre.

...I have met but one or two persons in the course
of my life who understood the art of Walking, that
is, of taking walks,--who had a genius, so to speak,
for sauntering: which word is beautifully derived
"from idle people who roved about the country, in
the Middle Ages, and asked charity, under the
pretense of going a la Sainte Terre," to the Holy Land
.... Some, however, would derive the word from sans terre,
without land or a home, but equally at home everywhere.
For this is the secret of successful sauntering...

Walking

Henry David Thoreau

To be outside, walking in the snow. Climbing up the hill.
Standing on the top, in the wind, looking out over the world.
Forever seeking a safe haven for desires sake.
Traveling about only to see something new.
Exploring what we can when we can.
Having the chance to do so much with someone so great.

There have been several geniuses and I have been
so fortunate to have met so many in such a short
period of time.

Tonight i have discovered how to change things up a bit.
Today is a new day. Let's hope it goes well.

It will not be all about
Me falling and you not laughing at me but picking me up.
