“Over the vistas broke a cold gray light,
such as seen in those false dawns
that are neither night nor true morning,
when the world and all its contents seem but shapes of mist, formed in vain hope and desire...
If you awake from troubled sleep at such a time,
you can only sit by the window
and think of those that have been lost to you,
― K.W. Jeter, Morlock Night

I want my paintings to have a light of their own,
they must glow from inside.

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty-handed

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance
I hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances but they're worth taking
Lovin' might be a mistake but it's worth making

Don't let some hell-bent heart leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out reconsider
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always)
I hope you dance
(Rolling us along)
I hope you dance
(Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder)
I hope you dance
(Where those years have gone)

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

Dance
I hope you dance

A primatologist told me you can find love
in the eyes of an orangutan.
It's that old primate gleam that goes back thousands of years and can penetrate the deepest gloom of the jungle.
Nothing can deter that gleam,
which is why we primates have survived for so long
to meet and procreate.
~Shawn Thompson
