We walked eighteen miles

And found the exodus shape

The way home is lost

weekend warriors

soup and crabs: nothing short of ordinary.

After a series of unfortunate events upon my arrival/transition to my new habitat, I have been less than confidant in the rather impulsive move I made to the Pacific Northwest. Fortunate for me, I had a visit from my pops this weekend, and came to the realization that luck and comfort really don't matter when you have loved ones who are rooting for you. I'm am truly blessed with unconditional love and support; and no matter how many boxes of books I loose and how many cats poop on my stuff, I say bring it universe - I own you.

onward

Leaving one for another... headed to Seattle!

Have the blasts of sorrow worn thee,
Have the rocks of danger torn thee,
And thus shifted, wreck-like drifted,
Wouldst thou find a port in time?
Vain the quest! That word sublime—
God’s great one word,
Silent never, pealeth ever,
Onward! 

Hast thou done all loving duty,
Hast thou clothed thy soul with beauty,
And wouldst rest then, wholly blest then,
In some sunny lapse of time?
Vain the hope! The word sublime—
God’s great one word,
Silent never, pealeth ever,
Onward!

Hast thou won the heart of glory,
Hast thou charmed the tongue of story,
And wouldst pause then for applause then,
Underneath the stars of time?
Vain the lure! That word sublime—
God’s great one word,
Silent never, pealeth ever,
Onward!

Truth and virtue hast thou wrought for,
Faith and freedom hast thou fought for,
And then shrinkest for thou thinkest
Paid is all thy debt in time?
Vain the thought! That word sublime—
God’s great one word,
Silent never, pealeth ever,
Onward!

From endeavour to endeavour,
Journeying with hours for ever,
Or aspiring, or acquiring
This, O man, is life in time,
Urged by that primal word sublime—
God’s great one word,
Silent never, pealeth ever,
Onward!
