"Now, my day-to-day life is a desert without any of that green grass growing in it; yet it's possible to insert a tiny seed of life and love into my daily interaction, into those dry, mechanical, and often petty and destructive processes that emerge from my ego. That seed — which, through grace and with a little water, might produce a bit of grass — is the question."
"What I ought to do is throw all of that aside and come to each human being on the common ground of this humanity we share, attempting to compassionately open myself to them through an organic experience of who they are — something that is for the most part quite elusive, obscured as it is by the inexorable expression of my mechanical parts, that seem determined to crush everything and everyone in front of me and extract some bitter substance I will nonetheless perversely savor in my effort to feel superior. It's quite a relief, really, when something more active is capable of discarding that nonsense so that I can truly honor another person for themselves."

Pat Metheny and Toots Thielemans - Always And Forever 1992.wmv
being in love is always the first time.
inbetween in love and in love inbetween
The space inbetween each other is very precious
and it is very fragile.
It can be a place for our essence, sweetness, scent and
touch to meet, like a room where to just be.
It can grow in depth and wideness and be rich
or it can shrivel and wither.
cigarette and drugs, abuse and dependency
it is so well known and so easy to be seen.
but i have to come to it out of myself and i just have to say it.
what i mentioned a few days before, self-inflicting pain be it
in soul or body (but it will always be both as they are inseparable)
can be a method to escape being here, here in specific situations,
a technique to draw all awareness and experience out in
another self-chosen place.
drug dependency of whatsoever is exactly this kind of interacting with a world of various
stressfull situations and it is self-inflicting pain. and it doesn't matter
when it has been learned to escape in a self-harming way,
usually it arises first in situations which appear unavoidable, oppressive
and terrorizing.
and this apart from physical withdrawal symptoms makes it so difficult
to stay present without drugs.
you have to find the lock and turn the key.
drugs are ok, ... dependency is a handicap in presence.
