"to be nobody-but-yourself - in a world which is doing its best, night & day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight: and never stop fighting." ~e.e. cummings~

...let it begin...
ahhh... so much for the merry month of may. how about the mother-f-ing crazy month of may? (not quite the same ring, i suppose. tsk, tsk.)
well, it's been a time of....well, err... actually, somebody tell me because at this point i wax amnesiac. the correct words are "a time of friends and family and a frenzied whirl of activity and togetherness..." or somesuch thing. and the truth is it's been lovely and crazy and irritating and dull and harried and stupid and brilliant and equal parts light/dark and forwards-to-backwards. but it is time...
the trip looms heavy on the horizon - but light, so so utterly light... i crave the hollowing and refining that it promises. i want to feel for a moment, that there are things so much greater and bigger than i - worlds beyond the small, comfortable platform i inhabit.
i want to feel humbled yet cradled, majestic yet minute. it is the very thing the whole of me pines for at this moment. to lose myself in the rush of it for a moment (and alternately, if i may embrace the cliche - find myself as well)...
make it simple, stripped down to its essence and its ether. and may it do the same to me. so much distraction and futility - turning an eye toward the other....
it is time...it is time.
