grain



All the things we could have done
The gifts we had, the moments gone 
Shimmering sand in the sun light
On what has been and what could might

And nothing is something no more
 and something is nothing once more

healing

When I was much younger -a child, in fact- I was very ill at the hospital. After the surgery, a doctor told me it was good I was in pain. It meant I will get better.
"Because there can be no healing without suffering" he said.

At times I'm sure he is right, but there are days I think it's just bullshit. The typical phrase people says when things are getting shittier. Like flight attendants that with a fake smile say "everything's gonna be alright" while the fucking plane is going down towards certain death for everyone on board.

From a medical point of view, I know it's true: an open wound hurts like hell, then a lot of physiological responses to the injury make the healing process a painful one, until only scar tissue remains.
But what about minds? What about chest wounds where there is no blood, the ones where your heart feels like dying and you have no more tears to shed? What about the pain of a broken dream? Is it still true? Must you suffer through healing, feel unbearable pain, in order to smile again?
Moreover, scars, of both the body and the soul, still ache years later and phantom pain always remains.

I fear the answer is that only sorrow is certain and we are all damaged goods.

"One line" - PJ Harvey

Do you remember the first kiss? 
Star shooting across the sky 
To come to such a place as this 
you never left my mind

I'm watching from the wall 
as in the streets we fight 
This world all gone to war 
All I need is you tonight 

And I draw a line 
to your heart today 
to your heart from mine 
A line to keep us safe 
all through the rising sun 
all through the circling years 
You were the only one 
who could have brought me here 

And I draw a line 
to your heart today 
to your heart from mine 
One line to keep us safe 
And I draw a line 
to your heart today 
to your heart from mine 
and pray to keep us safe 

Watch the stars now moving 
across the sky 
Keep this feeling 
safe tonight

noxious talent


Toxic people make being miserable a form of art.
And it's the only thing they are good at.

Baby, please, don't cry

I love you, baby
I really do
That’s why it’s so hard for me
to tell you the truth

But I have to

There are things I regret
but you are none of them
Awful things that I have done
and from them I can’t run

It’s dark inside
is where my demons hide
I have a beast in disguise
and my happiness is its prize

I can’t stay with you
They keep coming after me
and will destroy you too


There are mistakes that I made
because of them now
There are rules that I have to break
but I don’t know how

If I want to stay with you
like I want to
I have to be better than this
now I am no good

There is no one to blame
and no games to be played
Lonely places far away
where I have to stay

It’s dark inside
is where my demons hide
I have a beast in disguise
and my happiness is its prize


It’s cold outside
is where are monsters in plain sight
I have a beast in disguise
and it wakes every time I lie

Baby, please, don’t cry
Baby, please, don’t cry
Baby, please, don’t cry

To all who have committed suicide


"On Death" by John Keats

Can death be sleep, when life is but a dream,
And scenes of bliss pass as a phantom by?
The transient pleasures as a vision seem,
And yet we think the greatest pain's to die.

How strange it is that man on earth should roam,
And lead a life of woe, but not forsake
His rugged path; nor dare he view alone
His future doom which is but to awake.

Walking in your shoes

When there's so little of the moon in the sky I feel like I could die But I haven’t tears to cry Baby, I’m dry So brief our joys last where do I start Please world, make it stop I’m giving up I’m falling apart Oh, I’m falling apart The time is going slow everything is passing by an everlasting goodbye The time is running low that’s how it goes When the sky is empty like tonight Seems like there’s no light I could give up the ghost to ruin what matters most I want to disappear and stop holding the wheel Please World, make it stop just forget about me just let me go Oh, just let me go Like I never be never was and never will I want to run away and never come back I can’t hold this weight my heart is turning gray I want to run away and never turn back I can’t hold this weight My heart is fucking drain

My heart is fucking drain!

on a loop




I must admit
I can't explain
Any of these thoughts racing
through my brain
It's true
Baby, I'm howlin' for you

There's something wrong
with this plot
The actors here
have not got
a clue
Baby, I'm howlin' for you

Mockingbird,
Can't you see?
Little girl's
got a hold on me
like glue
Baby, I'm howlin' for you

Throw the ball
to the stick
Swing and miss and a
catcher's mitt
Strike two
Baby, I'm howlin' for you

X


We have to accept our life
Embrace change 
‘Cause nothing stay the same
Search for our peace of mind
Leaving all the bad things behind
Learn, love and never hate
Accept that we are the only variable 
that needs
 to be

R.I.P.

to the Great Barrier Reef





In March 2017, the journal Nature published a paper showing that huge sections of a 500-mile stretch in the northern part of the reef had died in the course of 2016 due to high water temperatures, an event that the authors put down to the effects of global climate change.

Pity

"Miserable people love to make other people miserable.
I don't hate them, I just feel sorry for them."

-Brandi Glanville

The Human Abstract - William Blake

Pity would be no more

If we did not make somebody Poor;
And Mercy no more could be

If all were as happy as we.

And mutual fear brings peace,

Till the selfish loves increase:
Then Cruelty knits a snare,
And spreads his baits with care.

He sits down with holy fears,

And waters the ground with tears;
Then Humility takes its root
Underneath his foot.

Soon spreads the dismal shade

Of Mystery over his head;
And the Caterpillar an the Fly

Feed on the Mystery.

And it bears the fruit of Deceit,

Ruddy and sweet to eat;
And the Raven his nest has made

In its thickest shade.

The Gods of the earth and sea
Sought thro' Nature to find this Tree;
But their search was all in vain:
There grows one in the Human Brain.
