An old Cherokee told his grandson: “My son there is a battle between two wolves inside us all. One is evil. It’s anger, jealousy, greed, resentment, inferiority, lies, and ego. The other is good. It’s joy peace, love, hope, humility, kindness, and truth.” The boy thought about it and asked: “Grandfather, which wolf wins?” The old man replied: “The one you feed”
Have you ever finished a book, and then looked up and wondered how there could still be a world happening all around you?
I don’t know if you’ve ever felt like that. That you wanted to sleep for a thousand years. Or just not exist. Or just not be aware that you do exist. Or something like that. I think wanting that is very morbid, but I want it when I get like this. That’s why I’m trying not to think. I just want it all to stop spinning.

I don’t walk on coals,
I won’t walk on water.
I am no prince,
I am no saint,
I am not anyone’s wildest dream,
But I will stand behind
And be someone to fall back on.
