Jealousy

O, beware, my lord, of jealousy;
It is the green-ey'd monster,
which doth mock the meat it feeds on.

Backdraft



I took a deep breath 
and listened to the old brag of my heart.

I am, I am, I am.

The Next Act

as if behind a curtain at a theater. 
There are such curtains that drop in life. 
God is moving on to the next act.

- Victor Hugo, Les Miserables

We shape our buildings; 
thereafter they shape us.
