pollution is a result of the inability of man to transform waste. the transformation of waste is perhaps the oldest preoccupation of man. gold, being the chosen alloy, must be resurrected--via shit, at all cost. inherent within us is the dream and task of the alchemist. to create from clay a man. and to recapture from the excretions of man pure and soft then solid gold. (Babel 140)
This is beautiful. If I ever had the chance to go there I don't know if I would ever come back.

thanks for your comment (a couple weeks ago). i did some thinking about it. i think as we get older we're able to control our emotions, including love or jealousy, much more. we become more attuned with who we are and what we need/look for in friendships and relationships. maybe you're right, maybe i need to redefine what i (however inadvertently) look for in a guy friend.
thanks :)

Nice Nice Read... You have inspired me to think about this "When I am not afraid.." topic...
A new community for artists and creative minds - and a new
Internet series from Marshall Herskovitz and Edward Zwick, the creative minds behind "My So-Called Life" and "Blood Diamond."
"When I am not afraid, I will become a juggernaut of idealism. My character will not suffer at the hands of my reputation. My principles will be a matter of life and death, my pride will not. My deeds will bring terrene peace rather then lofty exaltation. I will handle the lightest of details with the utmost gravity, and the gravest matters with the greatest levity. I will manifest as the vagabond captain of a great sky-ship. I will build this dirigible with skilled hands. Crewed by my fellow fearless compatriots we will conjugate the world. We will love with a relentlessly gentle passion. We will become amorous paladins of understanding. Caring with the ferocity and grace of the samurai warrior. Discourse our swords. Patients our sheaths. Fighting the false logics of hatred and greed. We will travel to the Congo, Bosnia, Texas. We will travel to these foreign spaces, not to preach, but to seek. Seeking those parts of our hearts which know what it means to be Bantu, Bosniak, and Texan. Once aware we will foster growth. Growth that will truly embody the deep cultural desires of the people. Seeing every dilemma, and dispute as a vehicle for change. Collecting these experiences, and trading them like a divine currency we will become rich and fat. We will sit enormous and numerous, like six billion Buddhas bellies full of warm contentment, and then it will be still, when we are not afraid."
