Written On The Wall of the Psych Ward

"Find someone in this world ... 
who hears your life's great chaos as a song."
While I get the writer's point,
I truly believe that someone needs to be you.
We need to hear our chaos as a song.
And then play that song with 
everything in us.

Some of you may be familiar with Andrea Gibson.
If not, you might want to take a look.
She died this week at 49. 
I'm sharing these in honor of her.

"I don't think there's anything that you can do 
to love somebody better 
than to unknow them in every moment; 
to relate to them as if they're a mystery; 
and to understand they are a mystery. 
...to unknow people  you can really look 
at each other the way we are here;
 not the way we carry each other's 
filters and memories and bias."

and

"Dying is the opposite of leaving. 
When I left my body, I did not go away. 
That portal of light was not a portal to elsewhere, 
but a portal to here. 
I am more here than I ever was before.
 I am more with you than I ever could have imagined."
— Andrea Gibson

Namaste'
