love is a place
& through this place of
love move
(with brightness of peace)
all places
yes is a world
& in this world of
yes live
(skillfully curled)
all worlds
It will not be simple, it will not take long
It will take little time, it will take all your thought
It will take all your heart, it will take all your breath
It will be short, it will not be simpleIt will touch through your ribs, it will take all your heart
It will not take long, it will occupy all your thought
As a city is occupied, as a bed is occupied
It will take your flesh, it will not be simpleYou are coming into us who cannot withstand you
You are coming into us who never wanted to withstand you
You are taking parts of us into places never planned
You are going far away with pieces of our livesIt will be short, it will take all your breath
It will not be simple, it will become your will
You are not beautiful, exactly.
You are beautiful, inexactly.
You let a weed grow by the mulberry
And a mulberry grow by the house.
So close, in the personal quiet
Of a windy night, it brushes the wall
And sweeps away the day till we sleep.
A child said it, and it seemed true:
“Things that are lost are all equal.”
But it isn’t true. If I lost you,
The air wouldn’t move, nor the tree grow.
Someone would pull the weed, my flower.
The quiet wouldn’t be yours. If I lost you,
I’d have to ask the grass to let me sleep.
I heard him read this when I was in college, and then ended up moving to the state where he was poet laureate.

I made a GIF of Xander punching a clown in the face. Because sometimes you just want to punch a clown in the face.
I do not approve of clowns being anywhere near people, but if you have to see a clown, this is a good one to see.
Me, every time I get an email answer back from TJ. (via cocktailstraw)
Humble, too…
I will forever associate TJ and Mike with these phrases.
Also, thank you for the recommendation.
I’m not sure if I want to be the puzzle or the juice.
Like father like son.
Happy Sundog!
He ended up climbing up entirely on my lap in that chair, while I said “you… are… NOT… a … lap… dog!” and The Wife did absolutely nothing to help.
I got this in the mail from TJ and I don’t know what it is about but Kate and Angela burst into song when they saw it and then started accusing me of killing their fathers and threatening me with death and DAMMIT TJ what did you get me into.
For the record, that is the official name tag from The CHSH.
TJ SENDS THE WEIRDEST BABY GIFTS YOU GUYS
Why is that weird? It’s all about setting goals, overcoming obstacles, and raising a child while not losing your passion for what you really love doing.
Also, for the first couple of years you can watch whatever you want to in front of the baby and she won’t notice/care, so enjoy it while you can, because then you hit the Everything Must Be Animated Stage which goes on for about 7 years.

Hello, ladies.
DEALBREAKER.
Truthful Tuesday: I don’t drink coffee.
Or beer.
Yes, I KNOW. I am a beverage outcast amongst the Internet.
I hope we can still be friends. After all, I still liked you even after I heard about that thing you did that time at the place.
TJ’S WIFE JUST KISSED ME.
THAT IS ALL.
Really? That’s strange, because she’s usually so reserved…
Did you know that TJ is a huge nerd? (via lindstifa)
TJ: This was entrapment, pure and simple.

I have made a Page Of Tumblr Shame which I’ve meant to tie to a Tumblr but haven’t had time.
