Prayer (Final Draft)
These hooded figures against the orange sky
Are broken
With the desire to know God.
They paint love with the shadows.
Their prayers weave their way
Through the Spanish moss
Hanging in curtains
Above the Cooper River.
To me,
Prayers knock hard at the heart
And tear at the fabric of the soul.
I don’t know how to pray
Without hurting.
Perhaps that is what grace is,
Or art.
They are...

WRITE SOMETHING, DAMN IT.
STUPID PHOTOS (NO MATTER HOW FUNNY THEY ARE), DO NOT PERTAIN TO YOUR FUCKING LIFE. YOU HAVE BETTER SHIT TO SHARE WITH THE WORLD.

Christmas
screamxtoxbexheardx3:
wake up and realize it’s Christmas morning
walk down stairs
make my way over to my stocking

katrinatea:
So I’m going to follow this craze and attempt to read 50 books in the span between January 1, 2011 and January 1, 2012. If you do the math that averages out to about 4 books a month.
Right now I am compiling my list of things I want to read, and then I will probably organize them by month…maybe…
YES!
For some reason I can’t reply, so I’m reblogging. Do books for...

Life Update
I really don’t write here much about myself. I never feel like my day-to-day life is that interesting, and I forget to write about any isolated events that are somewhat intriguing. Usually I’m the only one who seems to think so. Anyways I’m going to give tumblr a rambling update about my pretty uneventful life. Here it goes.
The fall semester is over, thank god. It went quickly,...

Your Hollister t-shirt doesn’t fit your philosophy books
Nietzsche, Sophocles, Hegel, and Kant
From what I can see.
You’d look better naked
Isn’t philosophy nakedness?
Aren’t you just trying to get life to give you
A grand strip tease?
I am also trying to unlock the mysteries of the soul
I’m trying to undress myself with these...
