as though there could ever be a logical answer to that question. We are the fortunate species who, if we are truly awake to the dying, if we live Awake, are aware that the Dying will come, and all too soon.
And we are not alone in our realizations.
Which is what makes God, and Jesus, so palpably real and so palpably gone, at the same time.. for if we end, must everything not also end, everyhing? What is the end, what is the darkness, better there should be darkness, sleep, than eternal suffering. Eternal suffering is what living has begun to mean.
I want to love my life.
I want to Love Life.Why do I feel like my life has been taken away, sipped and sucked and dripped out of me little by little, until only an acorn still exists.
I wish the people on Babble were real. I wish I could meet some of these people, people who seem to understand what I'm saying... someone to relate to my angst without allowing it to destroy me.
