I will not die an unlived life I will not live in fear of falling Or of catching fire I choose to inhabit my days To allow my living to open me Making me less afraid More accessible To loosen my heart So that it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise I choose to risk my significance. To live so that that which comes to me as seed Goes to the next as blossom And that which comes to me as blossom Goes on as fruit. --Donna Markova

The Days Pass--Dying Without Recognition

My computer is all screwed up...I think we have/had a virus so I haven't been able to get on for a couple of days. Life in general is...normal. I'm glad we're getting new classes tomorrow, but I'll miss the friends in the one's I have now. Work is annoying, but what can you do?

I realized today that life passes by without us noticing. I mean, I don't think we should count seconds and minutes and hours b/c that's not the point. We'd all be either miserably unhappy or insane if we constantly kept track of how much time is slipping by us. On the other hand, I think that you shouldn't let yourself put things off b/c they never get done. Days end w/o anything happening except rescheduling the things you should have done for the next day. A cycle forms and before you know it you're moving in place. Running, trying to keep ahead of just that last deadline that keeps looming and then falling behind and then looming again. I'm not really going anywhere w/ this...just rambling. Anyway, I'm killing time before I head over to Sina's for Superbowl, what is it?, 38, I think. Talk to you all later...well, talk AT you all later, I guess is more appropriate. -Katie
