Since things neither exist nor do not exist, are neither real nor unreal, are utterly beyond adopting and rejecting-one might as well burst out laughing. Longchenpa
I’ll join you on that long recumbent ride along the river on the other side. I miss you, my friend.

I used to be Keith’s girlfriend when we were in high school. Keith was my first true love. We even planned on getting married. He wanted to have a son so bad. I see in the paper he had one. I have been trying to look him up on the internet. And I think I had found him. I am so sorry I found him too late.
