pain promise me
I am on a new path
pain, O my pain
of all that I loved...

"The difference between the right word and the almost right word is like the difference between the lightning and the lightning bug."
Mark Twain

Forgiveness is giving up the possibility of a better past.

Let's get together to fight this Holy Armageddon,
So when the Man comes there will be no note due.
Have pity on those whose chances grows thinner;
There ain't no hiding place from the Father of Creation.


"...There will be, at some future time,
the most beautful moment
when all illusion is dispelled
and we stand in mutuality and unity.

In the meantime,
it takes a great deal of faith to be human.
Does it not?"
-From Emmanuel's Book


“A single event can awaken within us a stranger totally unknown to us. To live is to be slowly born.”
- Antoine de Saint-Exupery

excerpt from a charles bukowski poem
"the history of one tough motherfucker"

"and now sometimes I'm interviewed, they want to hear about
life and literature and I get drunk and hold up my cross-eyed,
shot, runover de-tailed cat and I say,"look, look
at this!"
but they don't understand, they say something like,"you
say you've been influenced by Celine?"
"no," I hold the cat up,"by what happens, by
things like this, by this, by this!"
I shake the cat, hold him up in
the smoky and drunken light, he's relaxed he knows… "

how do you not love CB? he can shake his cat at an interviewer and it remains relaxed. anyone who knows cats can tell you only someone who's very good hearted can shake a relaxed cat.
