Dark passions pressing outlines on our eyes,
suppressed thoughts brood and stir in isolation.
Twin stars in symbiotic spirals of inevitability,
slowly drawing closer to a mutual destruction.

Damoclean fear for letting go keep us in line,
constraints bind us to our chosen paths.
Together we are doomed and safe at once,
spiral ever inward to our kindred hearts.

Futures both wild and tender.
Visions dance in fear,
paths both chosen and made.
To submit or persevere?

Je pense, donc, je suis.

"I convinced myself that there is nothing at all in the world, no sky, no earth, no minds, no bodies; is it not therefore also true that I do not exist? However, I certainly did exist, if I convinced my self of something. There is some unidentified deceiver, however, all powerful and cunning, who is dedicated to deceiving me constantly. Therefore it is indubitable that I also exist, if he deceives me…he will still never bring it about that I am nothing as long as I think I am something."

- from the 2nd of 6 meditations in 1636 by René Descartes (1596 - 1650)

Lyrics: Eskobar feat. Heather Nova - Someone New

So is it goodbye?
Is it time to set you free?
Is it time to let it fly?
Is it time to let it bleed

We used to take turns
To cover up the pain
Deep below it burns
And the fellin' still remains

You're gonna find someone new
I really hope you do
'Cause I love you
And the sun will come on thru,
It's gonna shine for you
'Cause I adore you

Yes we gave it a try
But maybe for too long
Out of every sorrow
Another day will dawn

You're gonna find someone new
I really hope you do
'Cause I love you
And the sun will come on thru,
It's gonna shine for you
'Cause I adore you

And the road travels on
But I'm still near you
In my life, like a song
I will still hear you
Still

Sun will shine for you
'Cause I adore you...
