jennifer I hated you once
briefly
but I never meant it
not the way you thought
and now
when I am near you
I feel the cold distance
between us
that thin wall of indifference
that keeps us so far apart
we seem the same
but I know it will
never be the same again
so I live
I survive
meekly on my own
but I hope one day
we either sever each other
or grow back together as we were
because just as we are
is killing me

power through passion Understand
It's a child's word
the closest we ever get to really understanding
is that we know we cannot understand
certainly not in the glorious entirety that it might offer us
we can thus only accept
embrace
learn to love our limitations
they cradle us and protect us
they allow us to truly love
let us not throw that away

Byrnes " ...to understand rather than to be understood... "
-The prayer of St. Francis

Understanding is the sad point when you know you can't change it, (whatever it may be) yet your ignorent sheild has left, and never again will you be able to baske in ignorence.

Understanding causes anger and depression.

Yet the wise seek to understand.

For when you understand you begin to know what must change. Although change is almost always impossible, knowing what must change gives us a fleeting bit of hope.

And that hope helps me to endure the oppression of creativity, justice, spirituallity, and many other neccesities.

Is understanding a gift from GOD,
Or is it one of the curses of humanity?
Or is it both?

I wonder if any of you understand.
I wonder if I really understand.
Can anyone help me understand?

sabbie and it seemed to me
he understood
and i fell into his words
they surrounded me
the comforting
swirling
dizzying
blackness
and i cried

and the music took me
to somewhere i already was
achingly, so painfully familier
and i cried

and it seemed to me
he understood
and i fell into his arms
they surrounded me
the comforting
swirling
dizzying blackness
and i cried

and weeping, i clawed my way back out

Stephin Merritt Volume 2, No. 9

I will stay if you let me stay and I'll go if you let go but I won't go far away because you're my only home

I will hide what you want hidden and I'll roam if you say roam but I'd just as soon you didn't because you're my only home

When you cancel dinner plans

When you cross the street and you don't take my hand

When you make impossible demands I wish I didn't understand, but...

phil understand that you yourself are 1 of those people: who like the commercials I don't like & can't remember the details I need to know, but which I can't remember.
And you can't be stood by someone who is watching you be a complete *#%^*!e, something which they will do later. Understand that because they are
*#%^@!es themeselves, they never truly hated you for doing it.
And that this is why nothing could be done about it.
Understand I am a sick individual, who believes they will never get better, therefore am sick of never getting better, until I get better, then faithfully believe I will never get sick again, and feels good about it, until I get sick again...
Understand how the human mind can be related to studies conducted about evolution and the situations humans have had to develop abilities to overcome.
Underestand everything that you are in control of. Such as a microwave, or a car. Because the conspiracy theory would prove you do be an ass bent on destroying the world if your lack of understanding of these human devices caused you to use them incorectly, or combine items that could prove to be lethal. Jsut don't be a blind and stupid guinea pig for marketing analysts who try to decide just how dumb everyone is.
Understand what you try to teach.
Understand that nobody understand why things work the way that they do, and use your senses to see bovious truths around you everyday. That watch you're wearing might be so small and intricate, that it's very excistence is pinching time and space, causing you to have bad circulation.
Believe the crazy people, and don't talk to the kids.

no reason to really understand, a word that ironically a lot don't understand. you do, though, you're so open and so smart and you really notice people and things, get to know them, their opinions, what they stand for, and yet you don't judge them. you can see through their eyes, and they know that, they need that, to know that their open hearts won't be rejected.

you understand, you really do, and i commend and admire and love you for it because it's so hard. and i'd be lucky to know at least a few others like you, or maybe i wouldn't know how to deal with it and it would fill me up and i'd just explode.
