Compassion
Our limited compassion is of the reasons for the dis-repair of the world. There is an unwillingness to take on the burdens of others, and there is a cheap avoidance of dealing with the problems of people we do not know.

I’m up at 5 in the morning reading interviews, articles, philosophy, and scripture, and the right balance within this intersectionality has never seemed so clearly...
In The Beginning
If you’re here reading this, you are a devoted BOY PILOT music listener and that’s awesome in my opinion. SOO much is going on both seen and unseen; it’s hard to even fully capture in one blog post everything. One thing I will say is that we are working towards something that’s simliar to a fire through a looking glass. There IS something there like somber glow of things...
