We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside us something is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch. Once we believe in ourselves we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight or any experience that reveals the human spirit.

E.E. Cummings (via quotemadness)

And you’ve decided to love me for eternity I’m still deciding who I want to be today.

Phenomenal Woman

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size But when I start to tell them, They think I’m telling lies. I say, It’s in the reach of my arms The span of my hips, The stride of my step, The curl of my lips. I’m a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That’s me. I walk into a room Just as cool as you please, And to a man, The fellows stand or Fall down on their knees. Then they swarm around me, A hive of honey bees. I say, It’s the fire in my eyes, And the flash of my teeth, The swing in my waist, And the joy in my feet. I’m a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That’s me. Men themselves have wondered What they see in me. They try so much But they can’t touch My inner mystery. When I try to show them They say they still can’t see. I say, It’s in the arch of my back, The sun of my smile, The ride of my breasts, The grace of my style. I’m a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That’s me. Now you understand Just why my head’s not bowed. I don’t shout or jump about Or have to talk real loud. When you see me passing It ought to make you proud. I say, It’s in the click of my heels, The bend of my hair, the palm of my hand, The need of my care, ‘Cause I’m a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That’s me.

Can you understand? Someone, somewhere, can you understand me a little, love me a little? For all my despair, for all my ideals, for all that - I love life. But it is hard, and I have so much - so very much to learn.

I'm super obsessed with @marcmartinillo's beautiful illustrations. I've promised myself a print as a moving in treat once we've moved house next month (& maybe a book as well ☺️🏡) #illustratorsoninstagram #birds #marcmartinillo

🌚 This is my finished northern hemisphere constellation drawing 🌝. I was asked to do this for Franks soon-to-be-open sister bar North as part of their crowdfunding campaign- if you donate £100, you get 10 prints by 10 artists (this print being one of them). A bargain I think!! Two more days left to donate https://payment.crowdfunder.co.uk/reward/43508 Go pledge! 🌙✨💫 #north #constellation #crowdfunding #franksbarnorwich #northbarnorwich #norwich #illustration #illustrator #giclee #print #starsign #astronomy #astrology #stars #instaart #instaartist #watercolour #watercolor #painting #paint #art #artist (at North)

Revisited Winterton yesterday. In the space of a month it's suddenly feeling very springlike compared to how it was in this photo🌱. The colours and textures of the landscape are incredible 🌾☁️🌾☁️🌾 #Norfolk #winterton #spring #beach (at Winterton, Norfolk, United Kingdom)
