been thinking about this (a lot)

i really do wish there were some cool non-strange jonestown-like way where we could all die peacefully, in one very chill group. tho perhaps would help to not know your Jonestown time. perhaps also the group nature might be frightening. ok, maybe still workshopping this. 

also thinking about the concept of every moment being perfect…i see what they (anonymous they) mean, but so many moments are drudgery. how to find the beauty in all those drudgey moments? i’m pretty good at seeing the good, but lately it just feels like endless slogging. please see old face post for more. 

…though this quote, inspired by, but not from, apiece apart: 

“I wanted to write something in the tradition of the hallelujah choruses but from a different point of view. I think the other song that is closely related to that is ‘Anthem.’ It’s the notion that there is no perfection–that this is a broken world and we live with broken hearts and broken lives but still that is no alibi for anything. On the contrary, you have to stand up and say hallelujah under those circumstances.” — leonard cohen
