Favorite Quote:
"That is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange eaons even death may die" the mad arab Abdul Alhazred


Dear brother ,I hear thou art one with the trees

Stretching betwixt the roots and the leaves

how I wish you could know

That you are neither tossed to or fro


You say that I am I, and I am me,

But I fear you still don’t see

What this world is surely worth

Whilst grounded to your cold earth


To see, now is not then

To know, to be is not to have been

To perceive, elsewhere is always here

To realize, all is not far nor near


Remember, I am you for you am I
