Sometimes you have to lose everything before the penny finally drops... or... whatever. So here's what I figured out...
We're not evil sinners or perfect knock offs of god.
We let the world tell us whether we're saints or sex addicts.
Sane or insane.
Heroes or victims.
Wehther we're good mothers, or loving sons.
But we can decide for ourselves.
As a certain wise fugitive once told me, sometimes its not important which way you jump, just that you jump.

Help Support Free Knowledge
Wikipedia donation. I did!
From the founder of wikipedia:
I'm a volunteer.
I don't get paid a cent for my work at Wikipedia, and neither do our thousands of other volunteer authors and editors. When I founded Wikipedia, I could have made it into a for-profit company with advertising banners, but I decided to do something different.
Commerce is fine. Advertising is not evil. But it doesn't belong here. Not in Wikipedia.
Wikipedia is something special. It is like a library or a public park. It is like a temple for the mind. It is a place we can all go to think, to learn, to share our knowledge with others. It is a unique human project, the first of its kind in history. It is a humanitarian project to bring a free encyclopedia to every single person on the planet.
Every single person.
If all of Wikipedia's 400 million users would donate $1 each, we would have 20 times the amount of money we need. We're a small organization, and I've worked hard over the years to keep us lean and tight. We fulfill our mission, and leave waste to others.
To do this without resorting to advertising, we need you. It is you who keep this dream alive. It is you who have created Wikipedia. It is you who believe that a place of calm reflection and learning is worth having.
This year, please consider making a donation of $20, $35, $50 or whatever you can to protect and sustain Wikipedia.
Thanks,
Jimmy Wales

stick to the coast line, follow the birds, listen to the mind...
Incredible. If this doesnt make YOU want to learn to sail, what will?
that is the question...
that is the question...
A Perfect Blossom.
You could spend your whole life searching for one, and it would not be a life wasted.
