Debbie: "I can't tell you how hard I prayed for you."

Zoey: "I appreciate that."

D: "Well, you shouldn't. I'm not very religious. So there's the risk that my praying could be taken as insincere or even an affront, which if it's a vengeful God could have made matters worse."

Z: "Well, it didn't. So maybe there's a clue."

~From The West Wing, "Jefferson Lives"

fly me...

from the earth...

...alice

bang zoom...

... and back

paris...

I know you... I do.
I can see into your darkness.
I can see your soul.

you might think you can hide it,
but I know that it is there.

you know it is there.
deep, deep inside the shadow...
that is where I am.

I know your game very well,
but you cannot out play me.

I control the game.
my will is stronger than yours,
my darkness, deeper.

and I embrace the darkness,
while you simply deny yours.

you play in the light...
trying to ignore the dark,
hiding your shadow.

but the shadow controls you,
and you don't even know it

I play in the light
knowing where my shadow lies.
for I have balance.

it is the light that you fear,
because it will reveal all.

though I know myself,
I will not reveal myself.
you cannot see me.

to see the darkness in me
is to know that within you

to know your darkness
is to admit it is there.
to know you are wrong

you cannot be free from it
because it is part of us

but you run from it.
I am in control of it.
because it is mine.

is denial betrayal?
is control just arrogance?

I know you... i do.
because, now, I know myself
yet... I know nothing

where there is light, there is dark...
it is inevitable.
