At the threshold of the Stockton Street Tunnel while on the threshold of facing a fear of tunnels.

“If you are pained by external things, it is not they that disturb you, but your own judgement of them. And it is in your power to wipe out that judgement now.” – Marcus Aurelius

Claustrophobia: The irrational fear of being shut in; fear of enclosed spaces, such as tunnels and elevators.

“Beauty lies in the eyes of another’s dreams.” – Sonic Youth

I scribbled this quote down from a Sonic Youth song in my journal sometime back in 1995-1996. I realize now the whole song is quite beautiful and elicits a sense of nostalgia worth sharing. The song is haunting. You can check it out here.

There’s something in the air here
Makes you go insane
Brings you back to me
It’s been so long
All that I have to do
Is live along
It’s coming coming down
Over me
Do you want to see
The explosions in my eye
Do you want to see
The reflection of
How we used to be
Beauty lies
In the eyes of another’s dreams
Beauty lies
Lost in another’s dream
It’s coming coming down
Over me
Do you want to see
The explosions in my eye
Do you want to see
The reflection of
How it used to be

Hey baby
Hey sweetheart
Hey fox come here
Hey beautiful
Come here sugar
