Poetry and other writings
Did you ever drive in the rain, with the radio off, and listen to the sound of the water hitting the wheel wells? It sounds like something frying in a pan, or a constant stream of water at a high pressure hitting a concrete wall, or even a rainstick at high velocity. It's amazing how musical something can sound when you pay attention to it.
Take a moment and focus on something you've never focused on before. I think you'll find a whole new experience that you've overlooked countless times. Experience something. Try a new food, read a different kind of book, watch a movie you've never watched before, go somewhere you never would've thought to have gone, do something you never considered doing. Step outside of your comfort zone because as long as you continue to live in that zone you aren't really living to anything close to your potential and you're just wasting time.
The poetry here is mostly my own and all of what I wrote was during the 15 or so years of chronic depression when every day was haunted by thoughts of suicide. Unfortunately some of the poems I have written are lost forever, eaten by the evil hard drive crashs that are par for the course with computers. Predictably much of it is of a dark, brooding and sad nature. When you're at the bottom of the barrel it's hard to see that there's light shining in from the opening at the top.
