  • The time has abandoned us
    Going quickly far too slow
    And every time these things break
    I wonder if there's enough glue
    In the whole world
    To fix these plates of love
    Cups of capacity.


    Each day brings a slide
    The mud of consciousness sloshing down
    The hillside of reason
    Factual statements that make no sense
    Nonsense accepted by all.


    Can't tell the skills
    From the liabilities
    Truth from the haze of exhaustion
    Selfishess from justified pain
    Duty from duty not to.

    The lines are down
    Operators aren't standing by
    Not where they're supposed to anyway.
    A silver bird beckons
    Mouth open
    Teeth closed
    To remove and restore
    But at what cost?

  • You have them, always.   Let me know what I can do and I will be there for you as best I can.   Least I can do.

    Blessings,

  • You're in our prayers Justin. I just hope everything works out the way they're supposed to. Sometimes a last resort is to trust that what happens is happening to us for a reason, and that we're supposed to learn and grow stronger from it. Sometimes that trust is all that keeps us going in times like this. I know I've been down that road. We love you and will support you in any way we can, we're just a phonecall away and we always love to talk or listen if its a problem> Don't hesitate to call home, Its the weekend, we're allowed to still be up and we would love to hear from you even if just to listen to whatever is going on and offer sympathy.. We're your family for a reason =). But again, whatever we can do I'm sure we will.

    Love you and I hope we can get all this settled out to get rid of all the stress.

  • Sounds like a planet I once visited. The planet of the three brained people. They couldn't agree on anything because of their three brains not working together either within themselves or with others. Very sad place. I left.

  • I'm worried about you.  Are you coping all right?

  • this is really deep...

  • Sounds like the dark side of the moon...turn the light on someone please.  Sending sunshine

  • Not sure whats going on with you, but I know you have this big move coming and thats got to be hard on both of you after having lived in such a far away place for some time now. I think what I wrote in my last post is that what doesn;t kill us can only make us stronger. I hate that saying!!! But truly I have always found it to be so. Whatever may be troubling you will pass. "This too shall pass..." On the otherside of every hurdle is the gift of gratitude for having got over the obstacle. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Sending out your way positve energy, and calming winds to blow away whatever is troubling you.

    Sometimes I feel silly writing these comments when I am not totaly certain I even know what is going on! But I do wish to always offer positive reinforcement whenever I can. Sometimes its just nice to know that people even give a fuck...even strangers in the cyber world!! Soon you will be back home and able to see old friends who long await your return :o ) Keep your head up. Baby steps through whatever this is will you get you to the otherside...
