nothing but light

--- owner unknown

Was taking a bath and the water reflected the bulb's light - my eyes followed the movements of the pale blue and white reflections on the tiled wall. There was something in this that kept reminding me of Corsica. The ocean's ever sparkling shades of crystal-clear blue and green, the dazzling sunlight which absorbed all the morning's noises at the beach and all thoughts in my head. Nothing remained but light, and the pounding of the waves, and the pounding of the heart.

It's Christmas, how I wish I was there right now.

We were born and raised to live beyond, the heft and weight of a world undone. Like a bird from the north, our hearts will roam in search of warmth. --- Alexisonfire

But to risk, we must, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The man, the woman, who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing.

••• I'm not gonna live for you or die for you . Won't do anything anymore for you . Because you leave me here on the other side . You leave me here on the other side . I'm not gonna shed one more tear for you . Shed one more tear for you •••
