Stargazer

This was some graffiti I found at my job. Kids write the truth, huh? Life is cool on the outside, but it's the inside that I worry about. If minds could run marathons, well, I'd hold the gold medal. If only I could think about things like cures for cancer and not get caught up in the fear of it all. Like learning to enjoy the moment and letting the future take care of itself...But all's good. I ain't got nothing to complain about. Took a walk in the forest yesterday. Just me, the trees, the falling leaves. The fresh air. Saw leaves the color of chocolate.
Crushes. They funny. Ain't no secret why they call em that...cause if you don't watch out, that's exactly what happens in the end, you get crushed. I for one have always enjoyed love at a distance...Victorian novels have made their mark. There is an energy that exists between the object of desire and the person that is doing the desiring that levitates all in its wake. The secret is...keeping it like that. Using the energy to bless all in its presence.
I'm rambling. I'm rambling cause there's so much to say and nothing to say. All in one breath. I'm rambling cause it's all so important and then it's really not. It's not as deep as the mushrooms that sprout and look like fallen leaves.
I'm off to Lisbon next week! One day in Amsterdam and then off to Lisbon. Lisbon--that is where it all began. The exploring of Africa, the slave trade. Columbus himself traveled there. Wow. Ya'll know I'm into that stuff. Book geek slash hopeless dreamer. Stargazer slash microscope gazer...the large, the oh so small. So small, we can't even see it...
This universe, so big...so small, we so lucky to be in it. The wonder just humbles me. The power...let go and have fun.
In love & peace,
the lab
