Next time I would sing along all day.

Sometimes I feel as if my life is like looking through a kaleidoscope: amazing and colorful, changing, as long as you take your time turning it. Books are liked best with a cup of coffee. The rest is theatre. And silence, of course.

Milk and Honey

One of my favorite comparative literature-buddies asked me today about “that one book” I got for my birthday. Without saying another word I knew which one she meant and she asked “Can I lend it?”  Her boyfriend left her just a couple of weeks ago so I told her “You can’t. You have to.”

In case anyone is shipping Harry and Becky as hell. Let me know.

thirteen year old ashol pan is part of a nascent movement of girls who are keeping alive the six thousand year old kazakh tradition of golden eagle hunting known as berkutchy.

though long the monopoly of boys — once deemed uniquely strong enough to carry a full grown eagle on their arms and endure harsh winter hunts — fewer are now learning the skill, abandoning their traditional semi nomadic ways for life in the cities.

berkutchy is a life long profession, and is often a hereditary one. but ashol’s brother left for the military, leaving her father, an experienced eagle hunter, to ask if she would take his place and assume training.

asher svidensky — who took these photos during a four month trek in the mountains of western mongolia’s bayan ulgii (or “rich cradle”) province, where only 250 hunters remain —told the bbc that where most boys are at first apprehensive around their eagles, ashol was very much at ease.

ashol, though still in school, will spend much of her time nurturing her eagle, imprinting herself on the fiercely independent bird from birth. after much time and training, her eagle — who is considered a member of the family — will learn to track down rabbits, foxes and wolves, whose furs are needed for the harsh winters.

Imagine such a life. 

She is 13 and looks like the wisest human being on earth. How lucky we are to be alive.

“And about them immigrants? I cant stand them. Mostly, I mind my own business. But they’re only coming over here to get rich. It’s a sickness. England! England! Patriotism! And you wonder why kids want to die for religion?” - Kate Tempest

Not even a week since I saw Kate Tempest and all I want is to see Kate Tempest.

The picture second to last: deers in the woods with the sun on their backs and the view of the pacific might be the one image resembling my feelings when I think back of my time in Oregon.
