I feel somewhat spent. I go to these entries now as some sort of drudgery, and the joy has gone from it; the feeling that I have something to share has lifted from off the words, and it has become nothing but work. I would rather, I think, gather myself back up, and rest for a while, and give you what you really deserve, rather than give less than 100% and feed you stuff from the chum bucket. So therefore, I am going to go on a little hiatus from Perch. I do not at this time know how long it shall be that I am going to be away, but it is near certainty that I will return at some point. It may be the utmost of the temporary, and in a few days I may feel that I am refreshed enough. Or it may be a month or two. But bear with me, and what I recommend to any of you who come here is to look through the archives, for I think it not that many of you have been with me since the beginning, and read all I have written. So I go now, and I leave this alone. Just for a time.

Let people in. If you do, it is certain they’ll have good company.

Breathe upon me that I might have life, breathe myself anew.
Passion comes always unexpected, throws lives upon the lightning.
Past and future blur out of focus when this now has you there.
