i wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. it's when you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. you rarely win, but sometimes you do.

an old question i'd forgotten to keep asking
why do i get to be all Jesus crazy while most people can't even FEEL him?
poetry only means putting together pieces that never fit.
maybe we'll forget.
i hope we don't forget.
if i didn't have You as my guide
"i'd still be wandering lost in Siani or down by the tracks watching trains go by to remind me: there are places that aren't here. i had a well, but all the water left, so i'll ask Your forgiveness with every breath. if there was no way into God, i would never have laid in this grave of a body for so long, dear."
