"The finest emotion of which we are capable is the mystic emotion.
Herein lies the germ of all art and all true science. Anyone to whom
this feeling is alien, who is no longer capable of wonderment and lives
in a state of fear is a dead man."

Albert Einstein.

peace is here.
in my heart,
far from you.

here are the correct lyrics to the song - 'A Letter From Janelle' from the new Chiodos record Bone Palace Ballet that comes out on September 4th.

"""""
we make the sun shine,
i'll never be one of those hundreds of people in your life that do tricks for treats.
take the time to be still, silent and alone.
to remember who you really are.
it's so easy to get lost in constantly having to present,
whatever face you believe a person wants to see,
rather than your own.
it's funny, how some things in life we take the greatest gamble.
heeding cautious words, choosing to follow an undecided future.
yet we hesitate, to surrender all of our insecurities...
only the ones we are most comfortable relinquishing.
such a paradox, isn't it?

"""""

oh, and i really liked these pictures. so i thought that i would share them.

to laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends, to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy garden patch...to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. this is to have succeeded.
