i wish it would snow* and wash my face clean
i want to find some dark cloud to hide in here
oh love and a memory sparkled like diamonds
when the diamonds fall they burn like tears
when the diamonds fall they burn like tears
--nanci griffith
i know i carry my sadness and everyone carries theirs too. meaning: i go on and on and on here about my particular lot, but that doesn't mean i'm not thinking about the people around me who struggle and bow under weight. and there seem to be an awful lot of people around me--people i love love love--who seem to be measured a bigger piece of the pain pie.
we can't compare lives: there is no grand equal sign or scale that balances the dispersal of pain. i like to think it is in our power as compassionate and conscious human beings to ease the disparity, even just a little bit.
all i want to say is thank you to everyone who shoulders a chunk of my load.

wow i love you. so good to see you last night. i think you are amazing and i love hearing your thoughts-thank you.
I think it's interesting that you would ever feel like a "burden" or whatever to others when you bring so much light.
So thank you.
i love your writing. Its so beautiful and honest... I have similar feelings but feel stuck when I try to write about it.
