found this passage in a book i’m reading. it applies.
happenstance instruction
When I wallow in something dead to reawaken the savor of it, you rebuke me.
I turned to look at Nighteyes but he refused the eye contact. He sat in the snow, ears pricked forward toward our hut. The unpleasant little winter wind stirred his thick ruff, but could not penetrate to his skin.
Meaning? I pressed him, though his meaning was perfectly clear.
You should leave off sniffing the carcass of your old life, my brother. You may enjoy unending pain. I do not. There is no shame in walking away from bones, Changer. He finally swiveled his head to stare at me from his deep-set eyes. Nor is there any special wisdom in injuring oneself over and over. What is your loyalty to that pain? To abandon it will not lessen you.

Wow…mind if I steal that and post it on my weblog as well? That is absolutely beautiful! What book, may I ask?
Oh, sure, now you post it after I had a good comment last night all ready.
Less than intelligent comment: Dood. This shit is awesome.
Can I get a Freakin’ A? *smile*
sick *pouts* gonna try going anyhow.
*laughs* must’ve been. staying home. fuckit.
Shouldn’t you be doing work?
You know, if I didn’t feel like crap I’d tell you to order me some too. *laughs*
BTW, feel free to delete all these comments once you get them since they’re completely irrelevant *smile*
“loyalty to pain” — that says it all….
*laughs* You have a point there. Probably mine moreso than yours though. And duh, go me, I posted this comment on my site at first. *rolls eyes at self*
Yeah, I know. Go me.

lot of wisdom packed into that little bit.
i like to read the back of shampoo bottles while I’m on the can.
i’m starting to think the universe stuck you here to pound the lesson into my head.
dammit, i really expected a dirty end to your comment. a proposition at the very least. sheesh.
yes, but how do you interpret it?
sounds like one hell of a book!
Now your email isn’t working!
I tried again….third time lucky perhaps?
“There is no shame in walking away from bones”
fucking awesome, guy- hope you write a song about that……..
*smiles*
*claps*
Always something perfect to say.
I think your eyes are rather intense.
that MeWithoutYou song you’re “now listening” to is very, very good.
pain aint that bad.I rather enjoy it sometimes actually.especially the pain of growth.
