"My heart is what God uses to pan for gold; I scoop up mounds of dirt - with my heart - and after I'm rinsed, and my love turns to mud, I find in my heart huge chunks of gold."

i did not make this up, i read this in someone's profile.

never in my life have ever even thought a line like that.

ever.

i wouldn't even know how to begin to think of anything like that.

it's like all the kittens and rainbows and tori-amos soundtracked "faeries" have been pulled out of my head, if i am to assume that they were there in the first place.

i do not believe in magical things at all.

am i missing something?

also, after weeks of thinking on it, i still can not name the best day of my life.

i find this, above all, terribly disconcerting.
