I'll Never Give Up

The desire to go home that is a desire to be whole, to know where you are, to be the point of intersection of all the lines drawn through all the stars, to be the constellation-maker and the center of the world, that center called love. To awaken from sleep, to rest from awakening, to tame the animal, to let the soul go wild, to shelter in darkness and blaze with light, to cease to speak and be perfectly understood.

I am so focused right now...I am loving this time...we as a species could heal right now...but, probably not...we forget easily...I am loving this but never forgetting for a second how many lives have been lost
