TO JUDGE IS TO FORM AN OPINION OR ESTIMATION OF AFTER CAREFUL CONSIDERATION I love watching people. I judge them. It’s natural and it is a smart and healthy thing to do. We look at them and we assess all kinds of things. It’s how our brains work. The problem arises when we make the quick judgments…
I was living inside a landscape Where the jagged earth swallowed All the stories we’d tried to paint A place where hostile suns mutilated And ruined our beautiful serene skies Open skies where our hearts once soared Before they took a fateful turn and dove Falling fast into an ocean full of eyes It was…
