And it shabooshes the grass and i know the grass feels like me. Both importuned….be back later. It would be really nice if i could find [...]

  Never try to write something original. It’s all been said before. The best way to encourage a friend is simply to remind them you love them. Remind them of all the times you’ve shared together.

  I can expound on happiness. Communicate wealth. But I can never explain how Time froze from its flowing liquid rapture into one living globe of solid glory. I hold that globe now and smooth my fingers around its glassy surface, watching the light inside pulse with pure joy. All the colors of my life are [...]
