{ i think i know what you`ve been asking me ; i think you know what i`ve been trying to say . . .
I love life. I love the air that I breathe. I love every thing that I can see with my eyes. I love every color and every shade that distinguishes the different objects in my view. I love having a home to live in. I love having windows to see. I love having a brain to think, to breathe, to function properly. I love looking up at the sky. I love clouds. I love the blue skies, the crimson dawn, the sun shining on everything it can. I love being able to walk, being able to run. I love thinking, I love reading, I love writing, I love speaking - I love communicating. I love understanding. I love learning and learning how to learn. I love sharing with others. I love helping the less-fortunate. I love helping the more-fortunate. I love helping those who are just like me. I love striving for something worth-while. I love pursuing a goal that also attributes to or converts into a passion. I love believing what I believe, behaving how I behave, and living how I live. I love being grateful for the things I normally overlook. I love crayons. I love the innocence of childhood. I love the growth and development of life. I love the coherence and installation of truths. I love ethics. I love goodness. I love badness. I love ambiguity - the free will and the dire necessity to fathom an action and its repercussions.
I love myself. I love being able to do what I can. I love performing. I love my dog. I love my family. I love my neighborhood. I love my upbringing. I love the people who gave me my rights, who gave me life, and who maintain that it stays that way - I love individuals calling the shots, I love my parents, I love the soldiers. I love ideas; I love my own ideas and the ideas of others. I love communities and collaboration. I love harmony - peace and music, symmetry and balance. I love synchronization, I love oddness and eccentricity. I love justice, I love injustice. I love all the aspects of the world that make it what it is.
I love impurities. I love pure ideals, and I love the concept that they are attainable through effort and steadfast dedication. I love the notion that humans are more than what they are - I love the notion that anything is greater than itself. I love conflict and obstacles that prove to be a great stepping stone in hindsight. I love taking the time to dwell on the past, not for the mistakes I've made, but for the things I've done in the presented circumstances for which I've lived beyond - for what I've learned from.
I love insight. I love wisdom. I love ignorance. I love the uninformed - the "out of the loop". I love the search, the discovery, the doling. I love special moments; the ones shared between friends, amongst families, across communities and worldwide. I love familiar faces; I love complete strangers; I love those whom don't even know I exist. I love those who've gone, those who're yet to come. I love the world for being a splendid place as it is for life to exist and for things to seemingly go all wrong, yet everything is maintaining stability.
I love love. I love people falling in love, I love loving people, I love people who are loved, I love people who need love - people who do not know love. I love every second of the day, every day of the year, every year of my life. I love it all - because it is what keeps me alive. I live to love, love to live, and love living.
Sometimes words just don't justify what you feel and how awesome it actually is.
And, though a picture may not exactly compensate, it is, indeed, worth a thousand words.
". . . to prove to her that she was the only one that will ever have my heart."
Complete Compassion ; Happy Valentine's Day.
You don't need someone to tell you what you already know - you're beautiful, you're handsome, you're gorgeous, you're intelligent, you're magnificent, you're incredible, you're awe-inspiring, you're breath-taking, you're superbly immaculate.
Y o u ` r e y o u .
And there's no one else who could do it better.
If you do have someone, kudos and congratulations. But don't stop the love there. Ensure that all of the individuals in your environment get the love you feel for them safely delivered. After all, you're the only reason why people think of you the way they do. Whether they say it or not, they can possibly love you. All you have to do is be yourself and not be concerned with anything lesser than your attention.

THEY BUILD BUILDINGS , OH , THEY BUILD BUILDINGS SO TALL THESE DAYS .
I adore Regina Spektor. She's a superbly eccentric woman, and I found that most of her songs are obviously abstract. Prone to dissection by the intellectually and musically inclined.
This song in particular, "Buildings", is what I'm listening to tonight. It tells a story, as do most of her songs. It's interesting to think about. And, of course, I'm a bit tired from the labors of the day, so I won't dwell too much on fickle matters.
So, I quite literally had no clue what I was going to talk about for this entry. Then, as I sat at the piano in a room with a few of my fellow cast members, and a new friend of mine, dear Lizzie Borowiec [ who, interestingly enough, plays one of my children in our present project ], suggested jokingly, "carpe diem" and things along those lines. Relating to my theme for February; compassion.
I said, "You know, that's actually not too shabby."
And, so, I thought I'd leave that open to interpretation for you. And, in case you haven't noticed, things are superficial here tonight. It's because, when I got home, I was welcomed by a lovely little link my amazing and talented Natalie Rathgeber. Perhaps you may appreciate this even more than I had, though she, herself, said,
And, of course, I completely agree with her. It's overwhelming - there are so many things in this world, and we are only, presently, capable of taking things head-on as best we can. Of course, we cannot move a mountain while we try to dig a trench for the waters we plan to swim through to retrieve fish as well as the jewels of the deep ocean from which the inlet of water is sourced from, but we can take all of these things into perspective and separate them into specific tasks.
Naturally, they wouldn't be as abstract.
Listen to the song.
Look at the StumbleUpon sourced, Buzzfeed's "The Most Powerful Photos of 2011". There are some that are like many others, but just have a remarkable resonance. Take your time and acknowledge, for each one who is in despair, there are many more. Yet, here you are, capable of reading this and looking at the photos of their experiences. You may or may not gain pleasure from the notion of you being more fortunate, but that is not what I'm aiming to instill within you.
I am trying to get it across that, while your house may not be inundated or completely dismantled, you are capable of making a change in your immediate environment. The little things count. It's up to you to pick and choose what you can or can't do.

Continue to show your compassion and love and peace and all the great things of your being. It's easy to do wrong and be who you're not - it's challenging to be yourself in a sea of expectations and influences.

February: Complete Compassion
January was an interesting month. It shed light on certain things that needed to be dealt with. Both good and bad - the ups and downs of life. We may not have been paying too much attention to every single thing we did intentionally, but this month, we will.
February is renown as the month of many things, but in particular, exhibiting Valentine's Day. Whichever you celebrate, if any at all, it shouldn't be the focus for this month. Romance and love between you and your person of interest is much appreciated, though you should send your parameters to expand along the horizon - as far as the eye can see. Thin it out so much that it is no longer substantial in the superficial essence it is.
Develop a compassion for others that is greater than just the words that may be "I love you."
Strangers, friends, family, and everything between, they should witness the fruits of your labor this month. Be genuine and sincere. It'd make most, if not all, hostilities dissipate should you be able to coexist with whatever may be proving a formidable obstacle. A symbiosis would most certainly make things better.
It won't simply fall in your lap, however. If you're a person who acknowledges the blemishes upon their heart and conscience alike, though, then you're in good shape. Not everyone is perfect, not everyone can be that perfect person they want to be, and not everyone is going to behave the way we'd hope they would - those are the conditions that makes life itself worth experiencing. It's indescribable. It's what it is - life.
No matter what others see you as, it'd be best to reveal your true persona - don't act the way others want you to act, behave the way you think would be best for you. In the right frame of mind and without anyone to tell you otherwise, it'd be rather irrational to follow the wrong path.
Show each and every person you see how much you care for them. Honesty, by far, is one of the best policies. Furthermore, when every individual is on the same page, the synchronization makes everything flow well.
You may not make friends with every single person you meet, though you are more than welcome to try. It'd be best to show them how much they matter to you with the things you say, the things you do for them, and by your very presence when they need it. Show them what a true friend you are. Show the world what you're worth.
