A Determined Soul

Everything considered, a determined soul will always manage.

Albert Camus.

The Passionate Life.

The passionate life.


It is a life defined by emotions, by impassioned engagement and belief, by one or more quests, grand projects, embracing affectsons.


It is also characterized...in terms of frenzy, vaulting ambition, "sickness unto death". Essentially insatiable goals, impossible affections.

Philosophy is, or should be, a kind of magic.

Organic

Hair bleach and

collarbones

Buses and smoke like

watermelon

Lights on a bridge

where there used to be trees.

[I want to love organic.]

Picture: mine.
"I want to love organic" from Closer - Plastic Tree.

"On The Roof Of A 13-Floor Building, I Closed My Eyes And Talked With God"

Reckless
In a brash and loud and colorful way, that fades when the numbers pile up

But if for example, we were reckless
nothing would change
because we're quiet rebels.

Why is it that I like high places
and the smoke curling from the end of a bad influence.

It's not like I believe in anything

though,
I want to stand on a rooftop
and watch everything move

Maybe I'd find
when
"On the roof of 13-floor building, I closed my eyes and talked with God"
It's just me, talking to myself.

Based on a quotation from
Panorama - Plastic Tree

The Stars Will Go Around And Tomorrow Will Come

"If you can chase your dreams with all your might, it's ok if sometimes all falters.

For the stars will go around and tomorrow will come."

"Nobody knows what the distant future looks like

"Tomorrow" is what you seize today."
