Perfecting the art of the living contradiction.

Co-creator

Get comfortable with despair.
That empty feeling in your gut,
that's always slinking in,
announcing that the universe is indifferent to your suffering.
That feeling is real.
Chase it away, and like a faithful dog,
it will return.
I know.

Provide your own light, you must
Such that you can continue.
Allowing that there's much you do not know;
Allowing that,
though foolish is to hope,
You're gonna do it, anyway
(If nothing else, this life is an adventure).

You must remember you have much to give.
You are a co-creator with life,
in ways you'll never understand.
And that's more than enough.

And do remember there's no prize
Except for being here,
Except for life itself.

"Rage, rage against the dying of the light"
-Dylan Thomas

Peace

In addition to mother and ex-engineer you are a poet and a philosopher. But on a different note if you are living the life you always wanted to live why are so why are so down and full of doubt?
