The awful thing is that beauty is mysterious as well as terrible. God and the devil are fighting there and the battlefield is the heart of man. - Fyodor Dostoevsky

“You are tired, tired, you are very tired. You must be rocked to sleep, and tucked in bed, and have your eyelids kissed to make you dream of fairies. Come, dear, come.”

— Edna St. Vincent Millay, from “The Lamp and the Bell,” published c. 1921

Okay but when I retreat into my imagination? A very important move. An actual power move. A life-saving move. My imagination has always been there for me. It is my private altar and refuge. Everything begins and ends here. Everything feels everflowing and tender and completely natural here. I can always feel secure within this little corner inside of me that is bursting with renewal and endlessness and tenderness. I can always be in tune with my heart whenever I allow my imagination to take me where it wants to take me. And it does take me wherever it wants to take me. And I trust it. And it feels beautiful and accurate.
