Since all things have been done, they can also be undone... But there are conditions. Many.
The more we grow older, the more we think we are adults. Having become adults, we struggle to separate ourselves from beautiful things. We suck out all life, all language, even creation. We trap ourselves in little sticky nests. Our minds get mixed up into canvases too quickly woven.
Remove the strings that tie us to our baggage, learning to love the daily irritations, to love the facial tick that frowning becomes and which, like a tick living on the back of a huge beast, lives on you. Maybe that’s what growing up means?
Love these Parasites. Live with the chains, the silvery slithers that jangle in our ears. And finally find distraction within the destruction.
