“I hope you live without the need to dominate, and without the need to be dominated. I hope you are never victims, but I hope you have no power over other people. And when you fail, and are defeated, and in pain, and in the dark, then I hope you will remember that darkness is your country, where you live, where no wars are fought and no wars are won, but where the future is. Our roots are in the dark; the earth is our country. Why did we look up for blessing — instead of around, and down? What hope we have lies there. Not in the sky full of orbiting spy-eyes and weaponry, but in the earth we have looked down upon. Not from above, but from below. Not in the light that blinds, but in the dark that nourishes, where human beings grow human souls.”

Ursula K. Le Guin, “A Left-Handed Commencement Address” (Mills College, 1983)

this passage planted itself in my consciousness when i was 24, and 10 years later, it informs so much of my approach to living, thinking, creating.

I believe there is always an ocean around us, even now. I can hear its shell. I believe in the consequences of regret, I believe in you.

One of my favorite things about Howl’s Moving Castle is how frankly and fluidly magic is portrayed. Magic suits its user, and because of this we hardly recognize it as magic because it matches the character.

This is all just to say, I really love that Howl’s magic is intellectual and Sophie’s is instinctive and intuitive.

Howl’s magic: so if we postulate that the allegorical addition of the circular wand motion at the 47th degree of the midnight chime from which the fire and brimstone qualities of the malachite substance-

Sophie’s magic: *points at thing* bitch i hope the fuck you do, you be a dead sonofabitch i tell you that

Dearest love: The roses are in bloom again, cream and rose, to either side of the brick walk. I pass among them with my white umbrella as the sun beats down upon the oval plots like pools in the grass, willows and the grove of statuary. So the days go by. Fine days I take my tea beneath the elm half turned, as though you were beside me saying Flowers that could take your breath away…
