"The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain . . . When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy. When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight."
Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

Will I be able to resign myself to inability? It seems that now is the first time I’ve given admission to the thought. Perhaps it’s alright for me to just be alive, and not impress another living soul. Then, I could permit myself to like and dislike what I choose, and pursue my own thoughts with impunity. It’s high time I learned to spin my own magic and live in my own mysteries.

I rescued a grasshopper from a living burial in the cold marble vault of the office restroom.
