There is the silence of darkness around me…just finished reading shadow lines n it has stirred something deep inside me again…after so many years those questions are coming back to me?:)
Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction is holding me fast, how
Can I escape this irresistible grasp?
If you should go skating
On the thin ice of modern life
Dragging behind you the silent reproach
Of a million tear-stained eyes
Don't be surprised when a crack in the ice
Appears under your feet
You slip out of your depth and out of your mind
With your fear flowing out from behind you
As you claw the ice
You live you learn
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn
The philosophy of one century is the common sense of the next
It's not denial. I'm just selective about the reality I accept."
"Did you ever wonder if the person in the puddle is real, and you're just a reflection of him/her?"
"I liked things better when I didn't understand them."
And there's one by Lennon that puts things in perspective- "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans."
