Everyday Apocalypse

David Dark, my 10th grade English teacher wrote a cool book by this name. Really good. I need to tell him all I benefited. Some ramshackle favorite words from it:

Enemy of all that numbs. tired old asylum. slowing down to see clearly. humor, hope, phantoms. daylight is a dream if you’ve lived with your eyes closed. sweet unrest. how to be a healer. marionette. bountifulness buttressed by gratuitude and deep satisfaction with… grace.. is sufficient unto itself. happily float in the waters most are drowning in. grounded. Because all of life is grace, and every detail contains an unfathomable revelation. darkened room, coalesced. cursing as the lowest form of prayer. trancendence in every word and action. mystery beyond our grasp. truly sustains life. skull hammering awakening or waste of time. disabused. dream up the kind of world we want to live in. the despair that calls itself realism haunted moral obligation to think and imagine further. Sanity requires as much. humility of mind make self accessible and vulnerable to that word. sees and affirms the redemption already present and already underway; looking for it. hopeful watchfulness. extravagance. maybe we can call it an artistic decision as well. engagement. although modest, we have to start somewhere. among temptations to be resisted the drive to try and make things happen. hold nothing too tightly. the stumbling and false starts that come with these shots at authenticity are part of a troubled earthenware vesseled legacy and lifestyle. glimpses, awe, superaliveness, lightheartedly aware of inadequacy. healthy skepticism begins with self doubt. irrepressible. ALL SHALL BE MADE ALIVE WITH LAUGHTER
