zipline platform

i used to sit on this platform at 3 in the morning when i couldn't sleep. i taught myself how to play guitar here. there was something so enticing about the danger, being so high in the air- something about death lingering in the background. at the time, i needed that vivid feeling in order to create, and i guess fear was the best i could find. i don't seek this out anymore. when i started living as if death were nowhere in the background, i thought i couldn't create anymore. i've learned that other feelings can be as strong as fear. there is love; there is peace. this contentment is new. there are always things to write about. mortality gets boring after a while anyways. we all die- there will be a time for that. right now is the time to live. ~mj
