I worried I would miss it, and I knew, from losing Wyatt, that things happen the moment the soul is released. Wyatt had been there in the school, watching me, making sure I survived. Souls linger…they do. They linger a bit before they turn toward eternity. It could be that no matter how perfect their future will be, the past still tugs for a moment. ↗

Poetry is more than a form of art. It's a vibration and a pulsing heart. Whether it's sour or whether it's sweet. It can give you strength no one can defeat ↗

I hate gossips. I really do. I often wonder where they get the time and effort they put into either digging or fabricating so called *facts* about others. But these ridiculous creatures are a prime example of how the self-communal can try to injure and diminish the self-that-is. Now you know where the home of the self esteem is. It is not merely within the self. It is within the self-that-is. It is not within the self in relation. This can never hold true. Any sense of self estimation you get from the communal can never hold essentially true. ↗

The less you think you know, the more will be known. It’s amazing what you can know when you let go of being the knower. ↗

Na escola, a mediocridade vem regada à busca de novas teorias pedagógicas (normalmente com baixíssimo impacto ou possibilidade de verificação de suas premissas); na universidade, vem vestida de burocracia da produtividade e corporativismo de bando; na arte, nos discursos contemporâneos sobre a "destruição da forma". Modos distintos de "fazer nada" ocupando tempo e gerando institucionalização e papo-furado cheio de jargão técnico. ↗
