Problem, indeed

The real problem of humanity is the following: 
We have Paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions, and godlike technology.
~ E.O. Wilson

Three things cannot be long hidden:

  • the sun
  • the moon

    and the truth.

~ Buddha

...and some people don't come back...

Paper Flowers
Every heart has its graveyard. 
Names we never speak, 
buried beneath all that we had to do 
to survive. 

I've laid flowers at the feet of loves 
I outgrew, 
but still visit in dreams. 

I've lit candles for the ones 
who left and never came back. 

Not every goodbye deserves a monument, 
but I still remember them. 
How could I forget 
when their ghosts still haunt me? 

Some things just end 
and some people don't come back. 
And some nights, 
I still whisper into the dark, 
"If I could, Id love you better next time."

~ Jessica Jocelyn

Good to recall this from time to time

It doesn’t matter how beautiful your theory is; it doesn’t matter how smart you are. 
If it doesn’t agree with the experiment, it’s wrong.
~ Richard Feynman

But who?

 If I had my life to live over again,

I'd find you sooner and love you longer.

~ seen on a coffee mug

On my mind lately...

I'm sorry.

None of my dreams include you.

Simple, but profound

stay together
learn the flowers
go light
