Whoever you are, Wherever you are going, Whatever your emotional state, However you are feeling physically, In whatever conditions you are living, Regardless of what is going on in your life, Whether you are at your happiest point, or saddest, Even you are a babe of one year, or an elder of ninety, Though your […]

To the ground
I don’t want to set the world on fire. but I’d love to watch it burn. If I thought the world was on fire, I’d be looking for gasoline. I don’t want to set the world on fire, but I like to watch it turn. If I believed the world was on fire, I’d […]
