“The irony of commitment is that it’s deeply liberating – in work, in play, in love. The act frees you from the tyranny of your internal critic, from the fear that likes to dress itself up and parade around as rational hesitation. To commit is to remove your head as the barrier to your life.”

— Anne Morriss – Starbucks customer

From the right corner of her sight, she sees 11:11… From the same side of her mind, she wonders…

From the soul full of hope,
why is she far?

From the sweetness of the heart; the storm of the stranger’s mind…
From the lightness; fireflies in the bowl of night…
From the world she used to adore; the reality she still avoids…

Why is she still far?
From the man above,
and his words in the blueness of the sky…

It’s 11:18… She is still mute…

“I’m so much happier when I walk to work. It’s a quality of life thing. I think I just feel better having gotten fresh air before work. It’s calming. I know it takes 45 minutes and I can’t speed it up, so I know I’m just going to get there when I get there.”

— San Francisco pedestrian Amy Standen, 33, interviewed by the Chronicle newspaper

I’m suffering from insomnia;
I can’t stop thinking of the notes
inside the mystery box…

The smell of the soil,
the weakness in your eyes,
the gaze that makes me blush…

I’m tired of reading your dangerous mind…
