What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters compared to what lives within us. - Thoreau

Dave Walsh / Millenium Images UK

Sometimes when I'm alone, I cry.

Plagued by pestilence of the past.

Regrets and pain pressing down.

Life hurts.

Lonliness stings.

Faith isn't for the faint of heart.

Not all dreams end well ...

Author's Note

“The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation. From the desperate city you go into the desperate country, and have to console yourself with the bravery of minks and muskrats. A stereotyped but unconscious despair is concealed even under what are called the games and amusements of mankind. There is no play in them, for this comes after work. But it is a characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things..” - Thoreau
