thoughts on the human experience
helping others, fulfilling needs, exploring, nesting, in/out, deprived when mediocrity present, highs/lows - good in theory from a distance, lows are intense and dreaded but are real and we desire real because we want the full experience, not half or two thirds but all there is available to us, which is limited due to society, money, awareness, and time. breathe it in, spit it out. smell the roses, scream at the thorns. touch the breast, sing melancholy memories. one more time. just one more time. why sweet tastes at the end of time? been there, done that - but yes, one more please - consume, live, re-live, and describe to another who can't taste, see, smell. ears perfect, packet received. smiles, joy - the result of hard work, perseverance - perhaps the purpose of it all - momentary satisfaction - or even better (?)…contributing to someone else's.

ALL feedback invited - positive or negative - would rather live with truth and open expression than the antithesis.
