“Je n’ai pas peur de la route, Faudrait voir, faut qu’on y goûte Des méandres au creux des reins Et tout ira bien là.”   Noir Désir

It was. Anyone’s Ghost [The National]    

Meet you by dusk, at the end of the earth.  

  Profusion is just as obscene as penury.

Desires that can be fulfilled instantaneously, without effort nor waiting, can only breed little satisfaction and the insatiable hunger for the next little object of desire.

A friend of mine said “dreams come first, secret, quiet dreams only you can know; when you find one that is perfect, you grasp at it wishing it were so. Hope follows dreams so dreams feed hope.” I guess that’s why we never run out of hope. Hope never starves because the mind is a nonstop kitchen of dreams.

  “The road to wisdom or to freedom Is the road to the very center of your being.” Fragmentarium [Mircea Eliade]

Rain rots the thoughts Fog hides the words That drift away Some tears comply Others deny The will of fate Streams of gray coats Swamping the roads Of the city subway Wine strokes the mind The night is kind To those who hope

Contrary to the Dantean vision, the inferno is neither paved by medieval graves, as it is at the Alyscamps, nor made of nine concentric circles. Hell is a chessboard. An endless marble chessboard. A dying Cerberus watches over the gates, barking and coughing in pain at the people who venture in. Sequences of black and white squares melt in infinite patterns that [...]

After a while, Paradise became unbearable. When happiness is profuse, it grows into routine, and the only way not to implode is to run away. Some hearts are just not designed to endure so much peace.

The Hazard has done everything to knit together their paths. With a gust of vanity and nerve in their sprouting wings, they decided to erase, write and overwrite in the blink of an eye what others had designed for them since they were little. What they had designed for themselves since they were little. The destiny was canceled in favor [...]

“Tell me how you know now The ways and means of getting in Underneath my skin…”  

Just jump in your destiny, with neither safety net nor fear.

In the end, your personal emotional balance sheet is always even. As an universal (and queer) rule, you get what you give.
