Woman found dead,
Body ripped apart.
Heart cut from chest
And burned black in the fireplace.

You went calmly to our bedroom,
Cleaned the knife,
Washed your hands.

I didn’t think you were a killer.

Favorite Quote:
&ldquo;The capital-T truth is about life BEFORE death. It is about the real value of a real education, which has almost nothing to do with knowledge, and everything to do with simple awareness; awareness of what is so real and essential, so hidden in plain sight all around us, all the time, that we have to keep reminding ourselves over and over: this is water. This is water.&rdquo;

smile through everything no matter how bad it gets because it could be worse and if it gets worse well then it can only get better. :)
