The way things work is by admitting or opening away.
This is the simplest form of current: Blue moving through blue; blue through purple; the objects of desire opening upon themselves without us; the objects of faith.
The way things work is that we finally believe they are there, common and able to illustrate themselves.
The way things work is that eventually something catches.

- Jorie Graham, the way things work.

    Gentle and mellow day. heh. Sometimes I think we are getting too good with this standard MdM style. I am really worried when the day come the entire internet picks up the style and everybody starts lounging like intergalactic space traveler. lol

    I think we should publish the MdM standard rule as a social experiment and see how the world transform the rule..

    (Incidentally I need to email you for march and on…)

    i pride myself on being quite the music connoisseur, and each and everytime i come visiting here i only know maybe 20% of what you all suggest i should listen to. but that 20% is exactly what i am listening to, right now. so i listen to everything with an open mind and heart, knowing some kind of long lost family member is speaking my own language. i feel at home :)
