Ant

Wind warns November’s done with. The blown leaves make bat-shapes, Web-winged and furious.

Sylvia Plath, The Collected Poems

28 June. When I used to see my father walking from one window to the other, stooped, silent, hands behind his back, a deep expression on his face, I used to ask myself: What is he thinking?" Today I know, because I walk to and fro in exactly the same manner, with the same expression, and can answer in all certainty: 'Nothing'.

Jules Renard’s journal, 28 June 1899

14 February. Avid to know everything, and keep abreast, I have acquired a taste for very short books, easy to read, large type with a lot of white space - so that I can toss them into my bookcase, one after another, and move on to the next.

The quality of an idea issue inversely proportional to one's ability to write it down.

I am wondering : is there a world where people don't have conversations / negociations with their brain on a daily basis ? (I know I do, like now, where I'm on the edge of being late but my brain tells me it's soooo much more important to comment on this post than getting ready)

My Brain:
"Psst, here's a great idea for your book."

Me:
"I'm busy. I'll write it down later. I'll remember it."

Morgan Freeman:
"But he did not remember it, for his brain soon moved on to wonder how cottage cheese gets made."

Truth hath no confines.

People who never read books have been scientifically proven lack of empathy.Compared to people who do read books.

"In the solitude of a book, we find ourselves a little more willing to be vulnerable to having our mindset challenged." - Nick Raines

The main difference between people who want to ban books and me:

They would feel threatened by that quote.

I feel *energized* by it.

anyway some people are magic

Perhaps many things inside you have been transformed; perhaps somewhere, someplace deep inside your being, you have undergone important changes while you were sad.

Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

Tras este día de mierda, reflexión: cuando se está triste, el mundo no se detiene, pero a veces se necesita hacerlo. A veces no se tiene ganas de explicar, sonreír, fingir que todo está bien. Y está bien. Sentir es parte del proceso. No siempre hay que ser fuerte. A veces solo hay que ser humano ❤️‍🩹

We have to continually be jumping off cliffs and developing our wings on the way down.

You’ve never really been here
except when
I want to live life-
then your
words
grow louder,
harsher
and my cage-
your cage,
grows smaller

sorry for sounding so radical and extreme, bro... but it'd be super cool if we could all magically have that feeling of reassurance, being wanted, and supported without also feeling pathetic for desiring and yearning for such things.

I will somehow be able to decipher this in the morning in order to transcribe it into the #wip, but I can't tell you exactly how 😆

how it feels getting compliments on something you worked hard on a scene from the animated Hercules movie. Hercules is glowing as he carries the limp soul of meg in his arms to save her life.

A person hears only what they understand.

Goethe

Good night, rest

Beneath the midnight moon of May, Through dusk on either hand, One sheet of silver spreads the bay, One crescent jet the land; The black ships mirrored in the stream Their ghostly tresses shake— When will the dead world cease to dream? When will the morning break? Beneath a night no longer May, Where only cold stars shine, One glimmering ocean spreads away This haunted life of mine; And, shattered on the frozen shore, My harp can never wake— When will this night of death be o'er? When will the morning break? By William Winter

Idek what the ostensible message here is but…
BUT the emotions are there
And that’s enough for me.

Fidgeting - To you, the silence in this stillness is to be endured not experienced. It scratches at every anxious bone that you own. Do you find peace when you are alone? Or do you claw your laptop open chain your eyes to your phone trade your thoughts for someone else's? Too busy to impose on yourself for a moment. Be with yourself for a moment. Be yourself for a moment. Airplane mode everything but yourself for a moment. Be, for a moment. Don't speak for a moment. For a moment embrace nothing but you in this present, as the most important something to ever exist. By Sophia Thakur

Hmm,
I wanted to share this #poem from #SophiaThakur ‘s collection “Somebody give this #heart a #pen” ✨

So someone asked me what I’d do to fight feeling helpless.

The answers is simple:- Read.
Books 📚 💙
Poetry
Sarcastic messages from that one friend you didn’t know existed

Read the emotions in nature or dead thing I suppose.
