Waking moments
You know when you don't realise you've fallen asleep until you wake up? Ah, well. Of course you do. Lately I've started falling asleep on my (very long) way to school, though. I fall asleep on the bus, sleep through the ride on the subway and the fifteen long walk from the station and wake up somewhere in the vicinity of my locker in school. Maybe I'm meditating. Perhaps your mind knows when you don't need it (perhaps you're schizo, freak).



I do wish I had more time to spend outdoors (my camera does too). Autumn is everyone's favourite season (except when there's a fire drill and it's pouring down outside like you won't believe).

Instead I spend my waking hours in my room, with only my history or psychology book and Chopin or Mendelssohn to keep me company.


My mentor tells me I should be sixteen sometimes, never forget it. I tell him I'm bloody well seventeen and won't take my chances.



I find my peace, though, in reading beautiful words, some of which I thought I'd share.



Song to the Evening Star

"Star that bringest home the bee,
And sett’st the weary labourer free!
If any star shed peace, ‘tis thou,
That send ‘st it from above,
Appearing when Heaven’s breath and brow
Are sweet as hers we love.

Come to the luxuriant skies,
Whilst the landscape’s odours rise,
Whilst far-off lowing herds are heard,
And songs when toil is done,
From cottages whose smoke unstirr’d
Curls yellow in the sun.

Star of love’s soft interviews.
Parted lovers on thee muse;
Their remembrancer in heaven
Of thrilling vows thou art,
Too delicious to be riven
By absence from the heart."

Song to the Evening Star by Thomas Campbell
