thoughts shaped by people, places, and experience

T. S. Eliot

We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.

heart

you and your heart
shouldn't feel so far apart
-Jack Johnson

the prodigal

stands on the front porch

waiting for her brother to come back.

her feet aren’t lost, but her heart is,

which is far more precarious than any other misdirection.

what’s worse: she doesn’t know it.

she thinks that if her feet are on the front porch

then her heart is as well.

how can I be so out of touch

with something right inside my chest?
