I walk with the symbol of peace held at my back, as in a talisman to ward off the inevitability of heartbreak 934
"And so love is greater than knowledge; how could I have forgotten?" Annie Dillard, Holy the Firm
Poetics in textbooks: "Becker writes from an American context where gender roles might be less adventurous than, for instance, in the Nordic countries [with the]... highest level of gender equality in the world." Could we not all do with being a bit more adventurous?
"Grief, in love's loss and ever-present longing, stays with me, a place where encouragement might bolster and direct me. I write with an exaggerated pen, attempting to say the thing, how to get one's heart out of one's chest." - Jan 24th. I guess valentine will have his day.
There is something profoundly complex about the modern experience of watching a YUUBTUUB video about the history of romanticism in art and literature (distilled into a cool 10 minutes) that is interrupted by a combustible trailer for SONIC 3. this is the age
Just descended the ole CN Tower in Toronto and got off the elevator to the sound of @davidbazan singing Yellow Bike.. hope you get some of that sweet tourist money...!
Just writing this here as a reminder to myself, but thus far in my life almost every thing that has happened to me was not quite what I expected. And yet somehow, I continue 1136
In these trying times do not forget the currency of kindness, it can settle insurmountable debts, or at the least provoke humanity in the hardened heart. An olive branch in word or gesture is an oasis in the desert. 137
I just wrote that I feel "caught in the throat of the world"... which various dictionaries define as either the quickening sensation of emotions or of a feeling that is unable to be expressed. Here we all are, held in like a breath, growing weak.
"A recent study with humans has shown that a statistically significant number of individuals prefer to administer electric shocks to themselves instead of being left alone in an empty room with nothing to do but to think (Wilson et al., 2014)." Gomez-Ramirez & Costa on Boredom
"The fact is that anybody who has survived his childhood has enough information about life to last him the rest of his days." Flannery O'Connor from her essay: the Nature and Aim of Fiction
Me in school these days: "Please don't crush my soul with your bizarrely worded multiple-choice tests..." What is education? I'm perpetually confounded. (And, I suppose, reasonably successful, despite feeling continually punched in the spirit.) Blessed are #midtermblues
The sound of rainfall in the evening, autumn comes not only in sights but also smells and sounds. 959
I'm working on an idea for a new dating app. It's kinda like Bumble but also kinda like Hinge. It's gonna be called Humble. That's all I've got so far but I can't wait to use it.
At the edge of the river, sitting in silence, in sunlight, and hear snippets of conversation carried along the water's surface. Like a tuning of the radio's dial, unexpected melodies form harmonies as their sounds collide and conspire 236
Shout out to whoever invented toast. I mean honestly, I'm sorry no one bothered to remember who you were... unless your name is in fact "toast"... then... a toast? To toast!
"...everything on a scale of splendid waste....Give me the feast; [the] squandered millions of seeds, luxurious carpets of petals, green mountains of oak leaves. The greater the waste, the greater the enjoyment...If I could but give away as freely as the earth does!" R. Jefferies
I have been reading Richard Jefferies' "the Life of the Fields" (mostly at the gym of all places). Published in the mid-1800s, it's essentially endless passages of a guy trying (and failing) and trying again, to describe how beautiful "the fields" are. It's astounding and absurd.
"Some day the great and beautiful thought which hovers on the confines of the mind will at last alight. In that is hope, the whole sky is full of abounding hope. Something beyond the books, that is consolation." - Richard Jefferies
