lover of words, makers of language, shaper of thoughts

"Dusk, I realized then, is just an illusion because the sun is either above the horizon or below it. And that means that day and night are linked in a way that few things are; there cannot be one without the other, yet they cannot exist at the same time. How would it feel, I remember wondering, to be always together, yet forever apart?" -N. Sparks

"Nothing is ever really lost, or can be lost,

No birth, identity, form - no object of the world,

Nor life, nor force, nor any visible thing;...

The body, sluggish, aged, cold - the embers

left from earlier fires,

.....shall duly flame again;"

"This is thy hour O Soul, thy free flight

into the wordless,

Away from books, away from art, the day

erased, the lesson done,

Thee fully forth emerging, silent, gazing,

pondering the themes thou lovest best,

Night, sleep, death and the stars. "

-W.Whitman

"Be like the flowing river,

Silent in the night.

Be not afraid of the dark.

If there are stars in the sky, reflect them back.

If there are clouds in the sky,

Remember, clouds, like the river, are water,

So, gladly reflect them too,

In your own tranquil depths. "

-Manuel Bandeira

"Here in the deepest secret nobody knows
here in the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;
which grows higher than soul can hope or mind
can hide, and this is the wonder that's
keeping the stars apart

I carry your heart, I carry it in my heart."
-E.E. Cummings
