Hannah Harrington, Saving June

[havingapoemwithyou]

it’s november again by Talin Tahajian

[cryptonature]

I can barely know you and miss you. I fall in love as easy as a daydream. Today, I cried into my coffee realizing that I would soon read ‘Where the Wild Things Are’ to my son for the first time. I cry to think there must be a last bluebird, and that they were once so new. Life isn’t grand because of castles on hilltops that mean to rule for a thousand years. It’s grand because of storms, flashes in the clouds that claim nothing save a memory. It’s grand because it ends. Because each moment promises us a forever, knowing it’s only half a lie. There is no doom in the world’s end. This was your world. This instant. It slipped out as you read this. You might chisel your initials in stone or film the lightning on your phone, but I hope you don’t. I hope you just watch, and cry, and try to taste every raindrop.

(Poem by Jarod K. Anderson. Check out his two poetry collections: Field Guide to the Haunted Forest and Love Notes from the Hollow Tree)

I think the message of Howl’s Moving Castle is that in order to maintain a successful relationship with some kind of fucked up wizard, you must find it in yourself to also be some kind of fucked up wizard.

For old times sake is actually such a heartbreaking and beautiful sentiment. Like, let’s do it for the love that used to be here. It is reason enough.

The night was all frost and a fairy tale.

‘The Lion’ all began with a picture of a faun carrying an umbrella and parcels in a snowy wood. This picture had been in my mind since I was about sixteen. Then one day, when I was about forty, I said to myself, ‘Let’s try to make a story about it.’ - C. S. Lewis
