Now I wash the gum from your eyes,
You must habit yourself to the dazzle of the light and of every 
          moment of your life.
Long have you timidly waded holding a blank by the shore,
Now I will you to be a bold swimmer,
To jump off in the midst of the sea, rise again, nod to me, 
          shout, and laughingly dash with your hair.</description><title>&amp;.</title><generator>Tumblr (3.0; @refugio)</generator><link>http://refugio.tumblr.com/</link><item><title>First in a long time.</title><description>&lt;p&gt;I am frustrated, and I just want to cry.

&lt;p&gt;I am all for the maintenance of culture, acceptance of heritage, and knowledge of different backgrounds. But I also think the most beautiful points between cultures are in the transcending points when both can learn, accept, and grow.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sadly, not even I think I can accept right now, knowing my other will never even will to learn.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://refugio.tumblr.com/post/2579095257</link><guid>http://refugio.tumblr.com/post/2579095257</guid><pubDate>Mon, 03 Jan 2011 00:01:05 -0800</pubDate></item><item><title>Confessions as your daughter. </title><description>&lt;p&gt;I never want to talk to my family members like they&amp;#8217;re some part of a bad business.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://refugio.tumblr.com/post/2380290088</link><guid>http://refugio.tumblr.com/post/2380290088</guid><pubDate>Sun, 19 Dec 2010 16:24:19 -0800</pubDate></item><item><title>I'm an immature 20-yr-old.</title><description>&lt;p&gt;As I sit here watching the Bellagio water fountain water show play along the classic music, I can only imagine this being a substitute in a movie for the glorious scene during which the young lad finally has his great orgasm after an awkward introduction to sex.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Abstractions have no real author but the self, and the literal allows the blaming of others, the decreasing self-acknowledgments&amp;#8212;and even of our on faults.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;How, then, do we learn?&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://refugio.tumblr.com/post/2074107263</link><guid>http://refugio.tumblr.com/post/2074107263</guid><pubDate>Thu, 02 Dec 2010 13:28:29 -0800</pubDate></item><item><title>We always try to recreate what was once ours but never embraced or appreciated at the moment. And...</title><description>&lt;p&gt;We always try to recreate what was once ours but never embraced or appreciated at the moment. And the tried recreations leave us frustrated, upset, and disappointed in ourselves and others. We build reasons, tell stories, and draw conclusions to help us stand up with only one foot; that because of a single fault, or several, in each of the attempts, we have a strength to be a part of the recreation once again.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But why is it always less appealing to start with what is ours for the day? The ours that we have built thus far, which, too, deserve our greatest trials, attention, and disappointments to laugh over and enjoy.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://refugio.tumblr.com/post/1698386078</link><guid>http://refugio.tumblr.com/post/1698386078</guid><pubDate>Fri, 26 Nov 2010 20:30:52 -0800</pubDate></item><item><title>An interesting read.

Forget about what may have been&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In your hand the smoking gun 
The thin red line across your palm&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Forget about the end
This is not the end&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I had forgotten how light reflects on water.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In your hand flowers held 
The thin red ribbon tied around&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Forget about the end
This is not the end
This is not the end&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Forget about the end&amp;amp;.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://refugio.tumblr.com/post/954488759</link><guid>http://refugio.tumblr.com/post/954488759</guid><pubDate>Sat, 14 Aug 2010 16:46:24 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>July 29, 2010: One of the Greatest Days of this Intern Life</title><description>&lt;p&gt;Firstly: http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/127605/october-30-2007/massie-ritsch I will make it a mission and a point to keep him as a mentor and to build on this relationship. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Secondly: I want the wit, knowledge, and respect that the man above&amp;#8212;not Colbert&amp;#8212;holds. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thirdly: education, policy, journalism, sociology; I have got to find that tie.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fourth: I will always love communication and need to revisit the writing world. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lastly: So much respect for the civil servants of our government; John McGrath, the Communications and Outreach chief of staff, is a patient and consistent man&amp;#8212;also with wit.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What do I &lt;em&gt;need&lt;/em&gt; to do:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A) work for a journalism studio&amp;#8212;even if not the one behind the mic, which is actually in preference&amp;#8212;like NPR&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;B) have my taste of policy making and policy, separated from communications &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;C) stay focused on what it is I want out of every step I take while recognizing what it is that my work is doing for others &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;D) figure out where I need to go &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;E) talk to people with humility and honesty &lt;/p&gt;


&lt;p&gt;Then, &lt;em&gt;grace&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://refugio.tumblr.com/post/877894128</link><guid>http://refugio.tumblr.com/post/877894128</guid><pubDate>Thu, 29 Jul 2010 19:56:55 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>Dear Junebug,</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;I don&amp;#8217;t want no scrub, a scrub is a guy that can&amp;#8217;t get no love from me. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My friend started busting that song out today while we were walking, and all I though about was that moment in our car and pure ecstasy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, I just really need to get out of here.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I miss you.&lt;/p&gt;
