To discover the thing you're brilliant at you first have to endure realizing all the things you're average at.

Scrape the grey sky clean, realize that every dark cloud is a smokescreen meant to blind us from the truth

But we are more than genteel or civilized/ we are an idea in the process of being realized.

I accept that today may be imperfect... I accept that I may be as well. What I don't accept is that imperfection should be the crutch I use to excuse myself from participating in joy.

I was never meant to be this thing.

Look at an avalanche, and see that we are at our most powerful when we let go. Look at a flower, and see that we are at our most beautiful when we open up.

You see, the deaf have an intimacy with silence. It’s there in their dreams.
