Two piglets sucking the life out of a scarab beatle. creepy.

I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul. -Pablo Neruda

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart) -ee cummings

Kody has challenged me to live without air conditioning and all kinds of ridiculous crap that I thought I needed but really I was just buying into our consumer society. There are lots of things that are nice but not necessary and if the evils outweigh the positives... i have to drop it.

I dropped hair dye, make up (except for job interviews), chemicals of almost every sort... petroleum based things like chapstick, dish soap, most plastics...

The one thing I have a hard time giving up is internet access. It makes me feel connected to the world. I'm sure I'll have to keep weeding out new things I think are necessary but definitely aren't... but I fight them off as they come. Hooray for personal growth!
