All talk, no action

That's how i can be, and to be brutally honest, when i get done the talking part, i don't have a clue how the action part could be, for there's a space between the two, like a limitless gulf, which can be called the comprehending. The comprehension...

What one does with understanding

There is a thing i'm finding that when you feast on the thing you should be feasting on, there is a satiation point where everything else is palatable. When we process things in an unsatisfactory way, we are being neglected the "thing" we need to...
