clarity

"a few times in my life i've had moments of absolute clarity. when for a few brief seconds the silence drowns out the noise and i can feel rather than think, and things seem so sharp and the world seems so fresh. it's as though it had all just come into existence.

i can never make these moments last. i cling to them, but like everything, they fade. i have lived my life on these moments. they pull me back to the present, and i realize that everything is exactly the way it was meant to be."

-christopher isherwood, a single man

Beware

Beware.

Out of the ash

I rise with my red hair

And I eat men like air."

-Sylvia Plath, Lady Lazarus

the depths give up their dead

"memories are just where you laid them

drag the waters till the depths give up their dead

what did you expect to find?

was it something you left behind?"

- from "In My Hands (Hemmorage)" by Fuel
