Favorite Quote:
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.” Christopher McCandless

I spin worries into threads,
I take my worries and build webs.

I catch the future in this gauze,
and try to think of my dear cause
to watch it writhe and retch.
This sorrow so deeply etched
into my persona,

I spin my worries into webs,
I take my worries and build webs.

Joy and peace,
between my teeth,
faith and trust,
recedes to dust.

I spin my worries into threads,
I take my worries and build webs.

My secure domain,
through snow,
through rain.
Perhaps my webs and threads are chains.
Still and all,
it wraps my pains

It's been a pretty low-feeling year. I've lost a lot. But even worse, I don't know what there is to gain.
