Perhaps one of the main quests of life is to see if you can truly live up to the bright saturated vision you hold for yourself. The great chase of becoming oneself. -- September 21, 2015

"Color me colors that haven't been named

And build me with pieces where none are the same

And fill me with dreams that are wilder than reason

And make me a person that folks will believe in"

Fill my relationships with thoughtfulness and care
And let me create with feelings I can't help but bare
And enlighten the parts of me that have been pained
And grace me with the knowledge aged trees have gained

"Until this skin becomes a perfect home

Weathered and worn over time

A perfect home whose walls I know well

Whose staircase and old floors creak my favorite song

I am my own favorite song

That I am just now learning the words to

But I want to sing you until the song sticks

I have a beautiful body"
