‘Arrests at Occupy party in Williamsburg, Brooklyn’
So… this happened literally right across the street from my apartment on Saturday night. Can I just say? I was seriously appalled, embarrassed and ashamed of the people who were associating themselves with a movement I once felt connected to.
These people broke into a foreclosed building to have what they described as a “rave,” then could not have been bigger complete & total assholes when the (peaceful, respectful, undramatic) cops busted them.
They mocked the locals who lived on the street (no, not me & my friends, but the men & women who have been there for their entires lives, and who peacefully ignore the hipster yuppies they must resent with ever fiber of their beings, only to be repaid with bullshit like this). They mooned & flashed cops who were not taunting them or treating them disrespectfully in any way.
Honestly, it was just an embarrassment. I hope these people grow up one day to feel ashamed.

who knows if the moon’s
a balloon, coming out of a keen city
in the sky—filled with pretty people?
(and if you and i should
get into it, if they
should take me and take you into their balloon,
why then
we’d go up higher with all the pretty people
than houses and steeples and clouds:
go sailing
away and away sailing into a keen
city which nobody’s ever visited, where
always
its
spring) and everyone’s
in love and flowers pick themselves

“Some periods of our growth are so confusing that we don’t even recognize that growth is happening. We may feel hostile or angry or weepy and hysterical, or we may feel depressed. It would never occur to us, unless we stumbled on a book or a person who explained to us, that we in fact in the process of change, of actually becoming larger, spiritually, than we were before. Whenever we grow, we tend to feel it, as a young seed must feel the weight and inertia of the earth as it seeks to break out of its shell on its way to becoming a plant. Often the feeling is anything but pleasant. But what is most unpleasant is the not knowing what is happening[…]Those long periods when something inside ourselves seems to be waiting, holding its breath, unsure about what the next step should be, eventually become the periods we wait for, for it is in those periods that we realize that we are being prepared for the next phase of our life and that, in all probability, a new level of the personality is about to be revealed.”

I really, really needed to read this right now.
“For most of life, nothing wonderful happens. If you don’t enjoy getting up and working and finishing your work and sitting down to a meal with family or friends, then the chances are that you’re not going to be very happy. If someone bases his happiness or unhappiness on major events like a great new job, huge amounts of money, a flawlessly happy marriage or a trip to Paris, that person isn’t going to be happy much of the time. If, on the other hand, happiness depends on a good breakfast, flowers in the yard, a drink or a nap, then we are more likely to live with quite a bit of happiness.”
