Healthy in Paranoid Times: Only those who
Only those who have begun to doubt the sincerity and light of the entire world will glimpse the truth…

You can crumple the past like a piece of paper—each time you open your eyes the world is born anew, and the possibilities are endless…love, loss, lust, trust like grass up through moss waving in the wind and tucking back down under the earth again…nothing is impossible…start a fire in your heart and people will come to warm their souls

My descent crosses you as you rise

Remember and have faith in the wind that bends dandelion stems on overgrown highway dividers, then, on to part wheat fields like a proud mother does her baby’s hair.

Open your heart, calm your mind and time will do the rest
—Jonathan Negus
