.....it still lingers. It probably won't ever go away.
It's like a blanket I wear around me, all the time.
It's heavy.
It hurts.
There is no "out."
What do others do?
What do YOU do?
My uncle took his life in 2011.
Some say he didn't end his pain.
He just passed it along to others.
I don't think he had the answer.
Who does?
What is it?
I look in the mirror & I see nothing.
Empty.
The Mirror of Emptiness.
It's gone.
It fled.
It left me behind.
The pain it still lingers.
God knows.
God knows it still lingers.

From the most hated SLAPSHOT album, "Unconsciousness" produced by the almighty Steve Albini. Albini was, of course, the genius behind BIG BLACK, RAPEMAN, and SHELLAC. He also played in PEGBOY for a bit. PEGBOY is ex-NAKED RAYGUN, of course. Well this SLAPSHOT album does have a few gems on it, but "Insomnia" is not one of them. It is an Ok song though. Mos def weird for this "straightedge hardcore" powerhouse to write these kind of songs. Enjoy! m//r
Hot damn on fire! Yesterday saw the arrival of seven awesome Buddhist books from the monks of the Thai Forest tradition monastery in Redwood, California!!
I also picked up a few great titles from a used bookstore. These are mostly of the contemplative & mystical Christian tradition. My spiritual collection is coming along nicely. I'm am surely blessed to have a veritable library of knowledge at my fingertips!! That to a lifetimes' worth of reading material. I shall not be bored again. This is love m//r
Holy smokes! Dug out three more boxes of books from storage! Including doubles & triples of a few. Those will go to my friends Catholic Men's House, "Friends of the Master" in Ypsilanti. I've already donated around one hundred books to them, with about another hundred waiting to be transported.
I've decided I need to really make a serious inventory of what's here. And it's just as easy to put it on my blog as it is to put it in one of my hand-written journals. Wish me luck! m//r
note: I am NOT including novels & fiction (for the most part)
