"the alternative is that we sit on the couch from here on in with the remote, eating chips, brushing the crumbs out of our cleavage, not giving ourselves new experiences, letting other's tell us which products will give us meaning and what we need live a fulfilled life."

'there is no choice here. either we change, or we wither.'

Emotions run rampant within me.
Excitement, happiness
to fear and trembling
i do not know you
am i becoming the books i read?
i do not know you
and i know you less every day
because knowing takes daily effort--
daily communication of souls
excitement, happiness,
to fear and trembling.
one second ready to jump forward
the next cowering behind anything
i do not know you
will your presence once again
dissipate my fears or
is this more?
we both fear
i do not know you
but even worse,
i do not know myself.
