I tried explaining my life story
to a spider on the wall-- after all, there is no better architect who can understand the delicate tension of suspension, of things both strong and on the verge of falling apart-- he did not say anything, but when I hummed him a song I swear I almost heard him sing along so I guess he was listening - Atlas and if you take the memories out of life
you are left with nothing the world is water in your hands, which is to say-- it is not yours, it will not stay. thinking about memories - Atlas the seeds of the future
planted in the past now poke their heads out of the icy ground. it is difficult to say which will become grass and which will become towering oaks just yet perhaps it's time I studied botany - Atlas and sometimes we try to protect ourselves

because if we are just a nest of everything we’ve called home then I would like to know the branches that serve as cornerstones I would like to trace them gently with my fingers and adopt them as my own because I love you, because you are one of my cornerstones even the parts that I haven’t discovered yet. I do dislike it when autocorrect auto-capitalizes something I'm trying to say (like no!! stop that!! I Want to be informal) - Atlas and I said
teach me, teach me what it means to be alive so you took me gently by the hand and led me outside sometimes I feel very confident in what I know and other times I realize I have Very Little Experience (and sometimes I feel indignant because I worked hard for that Very Little Experience and I would like for it to count for something) - altas and it is always difficult
to learn something new, even when you have learned many new things before though perhaps some of the pitfalls are easier to recognize - Atlas and maybe nothing is ever inevitable
until it happens, maybe historians go back and find all the clues leading to this solution while dismissing all the ways things could have turned out differently-- but we are not trapped within the pages of a textbook we can choose differently we can choose another path or perhaps it was all laid out from the moment the first cell sparked into being, all those years ago - Atlas |
