i am the child of the wasteland....a land of haunted houses and monsters i call father. dark talents run in the family, but i shatter the glass to let the moonlight in, not to destroy something fragile for the feeling of breaking beneath my fists. all i can do is scream, crawl out, and keep screaming. but i can hold the sparrow, mend its wing... i am the spring rain and the hurricane... the monsters cower now, not me, not you. *xn*

"The Church says the Earth is flat.
But I know that it is round.
For I have seen the shadow on the Moon.
And I have more faith in a shadow than in the Church." -- Magellan

once i stayed up the whole night to watch the lunar eclipse. i lit a fire on our back porch- a small cement enclosed one in the lower end of park slope brooklyn.. not really the "slope" anymore but the small plateau that eventually ended up spilling into a milky light green sometime cherry red and nuclear candy scented canal. it was so hideous it was nice sometimes the unreal colors and scents.. that night i was the only one up for miles around that i could see. i think i was the only person i knew, that knew, or cared, there was going to be a total eclipse of the moon- and i sat out there all night watching. my back freezing in the cold, my face too hot from the fire in the little pit. and when it got dark and the flames were all that were lit i felt for a moment so amazed that this very scene- looking up into the sky- watching for the moon to re-appear is the exact same wonder a person, even a "cave-person" felt all that time ago. it wouldn't have mattered that there were differently shaped sillouettes just slightly below- all that mattered was this dark form covering the moon- to me just because i know its the earth doesn't make me any less amazed. I wonder what the first humans to wonder, thought the shadow was.. maybe they knew. but even the fact that its the earth, and not some huge space turtle or bird doesn't make it any less beautiful to me. if you allow it to happen you get a sense for a moment of moving through space- so you really are on a huge space creature carrying its children past the Moon. i wish that the celestial family, the sun, moon and earth family, could take off together and roam around the universe and we could watch the skies change and light up and go dark and whirl around. i really do wish that.
