check yo head

"those who know they have enough are rich." Lao Tzu

Thoreau wrote that "incessant business," or constant, never ending, tedious, repetitive work was opposed to life. Even Hercules' twelve tasks seemed inconsequential when compared to the lives of his friends. work work work work. for what? for more. i have enough now; enough clothes, enough food, enough shoes, enough toothpaste, enough family. soon i'll be working though, all day, all week.
enough.
i'm such a dirty hippie. can't i just go to italy and live on a farm? I'll be good, I'm not a communist. I just want to live with people I care about, work to feed and house myself and no further. I don't need plasma screens, xbox, i dont need a computer, i DO need a guitar. After university I'm going. Away to Tuscany, to learn to farm, to learn to live again.

can't block my shine

i'm more than you think.
faster than you saw.
smarter than you guessed.
better than you remember.
more melodious than you hear.
it just depends whether you're paying attention or not,
enough of you will.
