A brother said to an old man, “I do not know of any warfare in my heart.” The old man said to him, “Then you are a building open on all four sides. Whatever wishes to, goes in and out, and you do not notice. If you had windows and a door, and shut them so as to bar certain thoughts, you would soon realize how many there are outside, waiting to slip in and attack you.”
Always say what you feel, and do what you think is good and right. If I knew that today would be the last time I’d see you, I would hug you tight and pray the Lord be the keeper of your soul. If I knew that this would be the last time you pass through this door, I’d embrace you, kiss you, and call you back for one more. If I knew that this would be the last time I would hear your voice, I’d take hold of each word to be able to hear it over and over again. If I knew this is the last time I see you, I’d tell you I love you, and would not just assume foolishly you know it already. navigate around why don't you

the lesser days

In the absence of lush dreaming
I will take a peaceful sleep
The day is coming
I can feel it move

In the absence of a reckless love
I will take the regularity of solitude
The day is coming
I can feel it rumble

In the absence of myopia
I will take unwanted clarity
The day is coming
I can feel it flex

In the absence of percipience
I will take the ease of ignorance
The day is coming
I can feel it push

In the absence of You
I will take the echoing of imagination
Days wind on in numbers and
in names.
