SPACES part 2

sometimes i get scared to say certain things in certain spaces. i worry that the walls will hold my words and someday release them, slyly passing them to the person to which they were regarding. typically they are things i shouldnt say regardless.

SPACES part 1

lately i have been thinking of locations as people. today i passed a library and thought "what a space. so filled with knowledge." later i sat in a restaurant cluttered with people, booze and music and wrinkled my nose. "i just cant think!" now i lounge in my room exuding love at the space i have deemed "mine" and wonder if there is not something to be said for all spaces regardless of the connotations of the things that fill them -- books, atm machines, shrines, ones possessions. are spaces not like people, comprised of various qualities but all ultimately the same in their potential effectiveness and contribution? are they not just waiting for their chance to be recognized as great? THIS THOUGHT ENCOURAGES ME TO REGARD ALL SPACES EQUALLY. "i love you as you are." "you can be something for me."

old man at coffee shop when asked how he was:

"well, i made it!"


he grinned toothily and while it was unclear to what exactly he referred i appreciated his sense of accomplishment.
