Love has been the ontological pattern for me. And also the withholding pattern.

Love is an active construction, and choice, not just an encounter that happens by chance.

I still have faith in people. But that is getting increasingly harder to maintain. I just don't see many people today choosing love. I see people passing it up a lot. Foreclosing on it, deferring it, sabotaging, letting go.

Thinking through quotes, which to say scouring a range of texts for insight, is one way to outline the process of thinking/feeling through a subject.

I was never really satisfied with writing only text or with the way my texts looked when they were published. Most online journals have a pretty lame sense of typography - bad font, counter-intuitive margins and line spacing - that it makes me sour on my writing.

I am as much what I am because of what I still don't have as I am because of what I have had and what I might still have one day.

At any moment I could give up, but I haven't because love for me is an indispensable structure for being.
