First Entry

About the Race and the Heart


Where’d you go after the storm


That drew a line so impossible


To ever cross without deconstructing

Oneself? 


You’ve gone yonder to be whole


Based on an idea of yourself,

Or have you become the idea


That was pressed upon you


By society, and the friends,


And the family — and yourself?


Who are you right now,


And how does it feel to be you?


When will it ever be enough,


All that pacing and racing you do?

And since you’re racing:


Where’s your heart and when

Will you come home?

After so many years of suffering, I’ve discovered the path of the heart. Make no

mistake: My suffering has not ended. It’s merely transformed from an enemy to a very

uncomfortable companion. I used to wish that my suffering would just vanish and go

away forever, but one day I had an epiphany about suffering and the darkness most of

us hold within our souls: Suffering and darkness, they direct our attention toward the

space that we don’t like to
