love never fails

these roaring lion marchy days

I feel like climbing
right back into my cocoon and hiding
I suppose within that cocoon
would be growth
how can I allow that to happen

maybe some archived photos

maybe some transformation

of those photos

maybe some long lost sketches

maybe some lovely music

to bring comfort

for these roaring lion marchy days

"To laugh is to risk appearing the fool. To weep is to risk being called sentimental. To reach out to another is to risk involvement. To expose feelings is to risk showing your true self. To place your ideas and your dreams before them is to risk being called naive. To love is to risk not being loved in return. To live is to risk dying. To hope is to risk despair, and to try is to risk failure.
But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing and becomes nothing. He [or she] may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn and feel and change and grow and love and live. Chained by his certitudes, he is a slave, he's forfeited his freedom. Only the person who risks is truly free."

Dr. Leo Buscaglia
