Gone Fishing...

I'm not going to make a big deal out of this because it doesn't really deserve it.

Lately I've come to believe that one of the greatest flaws in the human character is that we all believe we are terminally unique.

In reality, we're just the same.

This is a good thing.

A beautiful thing.

I find comfort in it.

I feel so priviledged to have had the opportunity to speak to all of you for the last few years. Your kindness and support has been overwhelming. I'm not sure it's possible to express that in words.

For that, I want to sincerely thank you.

I just want to let you all know that I'm going to take a little break.

Not sure when or if I'll be back.

Respect.


Changes

From a frail pen flows this trickle of thoughts,
Not to be heard but seen,
But what can be seen of change,
For we ourselves are the ones who change,
That which we have done does not change,
But we change to do,
What we want to do.
Our change is at the mercy of every one else,
like a friend I thought I had understood,
But from familiarity rose contempt,
From contempt rose understanding.
Understanding gave rise to change...
