.85 glow

currently listening to 

pass it on,

the coral

i think that

our prime purpose in life

is to glow.

don't ask me precisely what this means,

but

there is definitely a difference

between just sitting there

inactive indifferent

being

like, just breathing

and 

being more

i'm not talking about doing - 

i'm just talking about,

being more.

or maybe that should be,

more being.

there's an old proverb from zim

that goes

if you can walk then you can dance

if you can talk then you can sing.

and

relishing.

not like the gentleman's stuff that you put on hot toast

but, 

to glow is to excite.

is to have passion

and be totally sold out for someone

or something

because you love it so much.

to be erupting

from the inside

abounding,

overflowing

to be

addicted

and yet 

wholly free.

to glow is to be

contagious

and as the glow becomes

contiguous

to others,

others glow

and the glow becomes stronger

and we glow

together

like all the birthday candles on the cake of somebody who is really really old.

but sometimes

we glow

and sometimes

we don't.

and maybe the only way that it works

is that

you've got to just let it happen.
