The Terrifying Quiet


When all is said and done, we are only travellers and sojourners in a weary land. The snatches of beauty that we sense in the grand and in the simple are but heartbreaking reminders that we do not belong here and are a long way from home.

I don't know about you, but I would rather spend all day gnashing my teeth at petty things and distracting myself with meaningless games than sober up and face the aching truth.
