my other birthday

[threeplusfire]

This is the day in 1997 on which I tried to die.
That thought does not pain me so much anymore.
The wound is finally healing, and changing.
I am alive. I am happy to be alive.
There is so much.

I'm happy you're alive too. :-)

I am a feather on the bright sky
I am the blue horse that runs in the plain
I am the fish that rolls, shining, in the water
I am the shadow that follows a child
I am the evening light, the lustre of meadows
I am an eagle playing with the wind
I am a cluster of bright beads
I am the farthest star
I am the cold of the dawn
I am the roaring of the rain
I am the glitter on the crust of the snow
I am the long track of the moon in a lake
I am a flame of four colors
I am a deer standing away in the dusk
I am a field of sumac and the pomme blanche
I am an angle of geese in the winter sky
I am the hunger of a young wolf
I am the whole dream of these things
You see, I am alive, I am alive
I stand in good relation to the earth
I stand in good relation to the gods
I stand in good relation to all that is beautiful
I stand in good relation to the daughter of Tsen-tainte
You see, I am alive, I am alive

glad you're here
for more reasons than the shared addiction.

*inarticulate*, but wanted to say hello.

Is that you btw, in the icon finally?

hello

Yes, that's me. On my first day in Prague, out in the Old Town Square, which became one of my favorite places to walk through. Happy, happy day.

I'm glad you're around to talk to, for so many things.
