Dust the only hope we have of knowing the past, dust our present, dust the only promise we have of the future. Dust the true shared insubstantial substance of all things. Dust the senseless leftovers of sense, dust the excess of any and all sense. Dust the in-between of all things, dust the only epoxy holding all things together.
A human being-question chasing after both God and nothingness. The internet is a disaster, but our starlessness might teach us something. I welcome our constant experimenting with ourselves with open arms, for ultimately they are attempts of life at living and growing in life. My dwelling is in Key West, while the dwellings of my loves are Indiana, New Mexico, Texas, Massachusetts and Arizona. These spaces are nothing. Love abides and love embraces.
