Biocan you hear your words
like waves upon an alien shore?
David means beloved.
If you want to know me, too bad. If you want to understand me, accept that you can't. If you can accept that, then start with The Last Unicorn, by Peter S. Beagle. Smoke a fattie. Then read Stranger in a Strange Land, by Robert Heinlein...and lastly, read Childhood's End, by Arthur C. Clarke.
Towards the end of that book, drop some acid. Chase it down with some mezcal, then eat peyote.
Watch Artificial Intelligence.
Then shatter a mirror and know that it was your heart.

No, you still don't know me. But you have some pieces with which to understand how to talk to me. Be glad you are not inside my head.
"You think I am your nightingale, singing for your pleasure as I stare through painfully bright gold bars; you fancy I sing of love, or a sweet lullaby. But you are wrong. I sing of freedom I will never have. I sing of the wind beneath my clippéd wings, as you listen and think, "how sweet," of my bitter yearning. But you are wrong. I am the black cat, coming silently as the night, slinking stealthily beneath your chair as I eye the cagéd bird. I hear its plea, and think, "Bird, I'll end your misery." I am the Cat; I excel in my freedom. Be warned--I am fey, like that glimpse of a dream you thought you saw watching you from the corner of your eye as you looked at the moon this morning in the cold autumn sky and realized its icy beauty; I am as ephemeral as the shape of an angel the mist holds for a moment, before the wind whisks it away into scattered whispers and wings...I am like the cat; the snake; the butterfly and the hummingbird--quetzalcoatl is my closest friend and the sea and the wind my lovers, yet Jesus is my light and my way and my guide. I do not practice magic as much as I *am* it, but that is the way of the fey. I am paradox and contradiction; I am phantasmagorical and if you see me you are a dreamer--but everyone dreams, even those who say they don't and even those who don't remember what they saw..."
