2012, the year that was supposed to end our race --a water-line for the universe that apparently doesn't care. In the tally on the wall and the chalk that makes it up there is the reverence to cultivation of change--fear. It was this fear I felt all 365 days that caused my arteries to ***** and my blood to accelerate. Fear caused pain and love and both of them in hind view are venomously magnificent. I may be a descendant of primates, maybe--but I met my hope by the ocean. Leaving messages in the sand for passers and onlookers. It is wonderful how the sound of the ocean--a voice--a warning--a heartbeat keeps us alive.
