it's been an overwhelming period. it hasnt been uneventful, it's everything but. with every turn my eyes opens wider. i see people in, what they call paleolithic art, as twisted perspective. i now see the people in a descriptive light rather than surface light. i guess if there is anything i've learned recently it's that trust is something earned. other than a handful of people, i'm reluctant to believe the things that come of their mouth anymore. im just thankful that those rare people that i've learned to actually trust have lived up to my anticipation, with exceptions of a couple. i've stomach death, loss of friends, poverty...just pure disgust this summer.
another essential fact i've learned is that when you least expect it there is something good left. sufficient enough to carry & move on. it's hard to believe that pandora's box could be opened, experienced, & reclosed in one summer, but that's real. i guess it's as simple as taking the good in with the bad. because when i think about how far we've all come, then dream about how much further we can go, it's just all worth the jugs on the road. then again there's always something i have to suppress. it kinda blows but i'll get over it. i always do.
