When you cut away
all the minutia of life…
all the pettiness,
the bitterness,
the anger,
the tantrums,
the selfishness,
the lies,
the hate,
the lunacy…
you will see what is truly important…
And that is simply living, as well as dying, and
most importantly the love that is t be found in
each of those functions.
