And never have I felt so deeply at one and, at the same time, so detached from myself, and so present in the world.
Nowadays people know the price of everything and the value of nothing
I am born with a past, and to try to cut myself off from that past is to deform my present relationships.
You cannot find yourself by going into the past. You can find yourself by coming into the present.
I love my past. I love my present. I’m not ashamed of what I’ve had, and I’m not sad because I have it no longer.
You can clutch the past so tightly to your chest, that it leaves your arms too full to embrace the present.
Language bearers, photographers, diary makers
You with your memory are dead, frozen
Lost in a present that never stops passing
Here lives the incantation of matter
A language forever.
Like a flame burning away the darkness
Life is flesh on bone convulsing above the ground.
You with your memory are dead, frozen
Lost in a present that never stops passing
Here lives the incantation of matter
A language forever.
Like a flame burning away the darkness
Life is flesh on bone convulsing above the ground.

Self-disclosure is sharing with someone information which helps him or her understand you. Self-disclosure is most revealing when the sharing is in the present and least revealing when the sharing is about the past.
