WHEN ONCE WAS ALL


to think imagine believe that all the evil terror suffering murder rape violence war fraud lying theft waste destruction greed tyranny holocaust genocide weapons of annihilation abuse addiction delusion all of it the darkness abyss void uncertainty negative dying light anti-mind confusion wrong way no how the end of everything an unnecessary death that all of this could be in the one i nothing more than fear 
of Love:
to be afraid of loving as much as being loved by another and from fear we watch witness notice observe the world strangled choking on a chicken bone... 
I don't want to be remembered this way and I'm sick of waiting 8 weeks 8 weeks 
to think imagine wonder consider contemplate decide preserve communicate

what silence will do with time…“Basically, cancer is scary, but some kinds may be more boogeyman-in-the-closet scary than serial killer scary. To understand fully, you have to look at the history of cancer diagnosis, Brawley says. In the 1850s, a group of German pathologists did some of the first biopsies on people who had clearly died of cancer. They took samples of their tumors and decided what breast cancer looks like, what lung cancer looks like, etc. Today, Brawley says, there is a patient who has a lesion that's approximately 5 millimeters in diameter -- smaller than a pea. There's a doctor taking a biopsy of that lesion and a pathologist who's analyzing the sample using 21st-century technology. The problem, Brawley says, is that they're still comparing the samples to the cancer definition that was created more than 150 years ago. It's an issue many people have difficulty wrapping their heads around: Some patients who are diagnosed with cancer do not need to be treated, because that cancer is never going to bother them. The problem is that we don't know who those people are.”
