Favorite Quote:
Beauty is unbearable, drives us to despair, offering us for a minute<br /> the glimpse of an eternity that we should like to stretch out over the<br /> whole of time. - Albert Camus

It rather seems that
everyone has at least
one other half
one best friend

a partner at the swings
taking turns
pushing
and gliding through the air
physics and all that

while I sit on top of the slide
alone

but perhaps I am lonely
because
I pushed people down rather
than pushed them up
higher.
