FEET OF INK ON PAGES OF TIME

 

MAY 24, 2013


and what is that, exactly?

all i know is what it’s called. and that it’s new, and interesting.

do you have to do EVERYTHING you’ve never done?

maybe not everything. but probably almost.

why?

because it seems a shame not to. it seems a shame to pass this life with stones unturned.

why is that so important to you?

there is a sadness to admitting, “i have not”. i think i’d like to feel as much as i can stand. i think i like to feel afraid, to face the form of fear and watch it wilt, to step through fear like smoke.

what are you trying to prove?

look, we’re feet of ink on pages of time, i must become the myth.

so you live for the thrill of novel experience?

all that we pass passes also for good, i won’t bear the regret of “if only”. i’d like to be the type of man called fearless, i wish to look upon my time with pride.

is this not a shallow view?

it is not.
