SONNET 29, by William Shakespeare

When, in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries
And look upon myself and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends possess’d,
Desiring this man’s art and that man’s scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least;
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven’s gate;
For thy sweet love remember’d such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.

Thank You , by Alanis Morissette

How bout getting off of these antibiotics
How bout stopping eating when I’m full up
How bout them transparent dangling carrots
How bout that ever elusive kudo

Thank you India
Thank you terror
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you frailty
Thank you consequence
Thank you thank you silence

How bout me not blaming you for everything
How bout me enjoying the moment for once
How bout how good it feels to finally forgive you
How bout grieving it all one at a time

Thank you India
Thank you terror
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you frailty
Thank you consequence
Thank you thank you silence

The moment I let go of it was
The moment I got more than I could handle
The moment I jumped off of it was
The moment I touched down

How bout no longer being masochistic
How bout remembering your divinity
How bout unabashedly bawling your eyes out
How bout not equating death with stopping

Thank you India
Thank you providence
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you nothingness
Thank you clarity
Thank you thank you silence

yeah yeah

whoa, what a way to “finish” off a spiritual journey… basically i had a bit of abreakdown in israel due in part to the negative vibes there. i needed professional help even, and spent almost a week in an Israeli hospital!!! what an experience… now I’m back in Canada, and am staying in a hospital in Edmonton. It’s actually rather nice here, and despite a few drawbacks it’s better than most of the places I stayed in on my trip! so, wow, this is how it “ends”.

I still have many more destinations to go on my flight, so I think I will take advantage of that. but I figured out what I wanted to do with my life, so from now on I’ll be basically working on that stuff, and enjoying life/having fun while doing it.

So it’s still a ride, but now I’ve switched cars so to speak, and I’m not a backpacking tourist any more (not that there’s anything wrong with that .

Thanks everyone for your positive energy and support. I’m sure it helped me through “the tough times”.

So this website is unofficially finished. But look for more work from me, in one form or another, in the future!!!

Cheers all, namaste, peace and love and all of that
yours,
Steven
