The Book of Raven: August 2014

A bottle of wine.

The truth... the true, true truth about me..
I am a tortured soul.

There's a sad gravity in me that anchors me...

I feel things so deeply it splits my heart open.

I half live in other realms.

Being present is a paradox.

I am a paradox .

I don't belong in the present.
