Wild Geese You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves. Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine. Meanwhile the world goes on. Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain are moving across the landscapes, over the prairies and the deep...
Spent the weekend in Boston at Harvard National MUN conference, and it was the most fund I have had in a long time. Realized that kids the world over are nuts, sleep is not necessary, and that I am crazy for the amazing friends I have made from all over the globe. Can I go back yet?
Better write all this down, I don’t want to forget how amazing it all way. Yet another reason I pray my...

I hate that I can’t really explain to anyone how things are right now
I can’t describe the emptiness I feel. Having depression, it’s nothing new. Something I have learned to live with. I am used to having this feeling of a hole I can never fill. But some days, when I am tired and lonely and least expect it, it threatens to swallow me up. Forever falling down the well, seemingly...

The Honeybee Manifesto
Take only what you need
Beautiful things take dirty work
There is order in disorder
There are dances (and art) in the day-to-day
You can survive on work and flowers alone
Help others
Hurting others only hurts yourself
Likewise hurting yourself only hurts others
And of course productivity is the key to happiness - and staying alive

“Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud.

'I find no Peace" by Sir Thomas Wyatt
I find no peace, and all my war is done;
I fear and hope, I burn and freeze like ice;
I fly above the wind, yet can I not arise;
And naught I have, yet all the world I seize on;
That looseth nor locketh holdeth me in prison
And holdeth me not yet can I scape nowise
Nor letteth me live nor die at my devise,
And yet of death it giveth none occasion.
Without eyen I see, and without tongue I...
