that’s all any of us are trying to do, is land. whether we’re coming down from heaven or falling into the depths of our own hell, we’re just trying to land; to get our feet on the ground and get a grasp on our surroundings, on the reality we’ve created for ourselves. we might find ourselves in paradise or stuck in the path of a hurricane, but there is a certainty associated...
