Sadness is not what I feel:
It is the air I breathe,
And the sea in which I am swimming

"Oh God, I'm tired,
And my heart is broken,
Its so hard to feel so alone,
And so far, so far away from home ..."
[Girls - My Ma] *

*one of my favorites from 2011

recycled

I am made of bright and beautiful things,
And darkness too
Energy from light,
Defined by shadows
I have many dimensions
Though you choose to see only one
Perhaps you will look more deeply,
Next time

I love running at night with the ipod on shuffle.

Outtakes:

I know you've heard it all before
So I don't say it anymore
I just stand by and let you fight your secret war
And though I used to wonder why
I used to cry 'til I was dry
Still sometimes I get a strange pain inside
Joey, if you're hurting so am I(Joey - Concrete Blonde)

I know flowers grow through rain
Why can't love go through pain,
ain't that peculiar (Ain't That Peculiar - Marvin Gaye)

***

I can't forget this evening
or your face as you were leaving
but I guess that's just the way the story goes
you always smile
but in your eyes your sorrow shows,
yes it shows (Without You - Harry Nilsson)

***

When you were mine,
you were kinda, sorta my best friend (When You Were Mine - Cyndi Lauper)

Things I'd never tell you,
down the line someday

A thing, I give away
I'll pack my things today ... (Things - Paul Westerberg)

She said lets call it quits
lets not call it the end of the world
call it what you will
I'm heartbroken still
words are just words (Call it What You Will - Joe Pug)

I've said it before but 2010 was an amazing year for mushrooms in the Colorado high country. Photographed along the trail to Mt. Neva, Indian Peaks Wilderness, CO.
