"Speech is a powerful master and achieves the most divine feats with the smallest and least evident body. It can stop fear, relieve pain, create joy, and increase pity."
- sophist Gorgias (485-380 BC)
I was studying my hands today and truly saw for the first time the intricate pattern dark blue-green veins made underneath my palms and fingers; such delicacies have been splotched over by ruddy pinks and asian yellow color tones. Prolonged concentration made these strange-like tentacles branching off a soft centerpiece foreign to my sense of bodily relations. Funny how we use these things to inspire, to create, to make real our innovations and to present beautiful and carefully crafted accomplishments...

Heartache Original.
