Reading in the Void, all is Hazy

Natalia/ Guatemalan wandering in books/23/ I'm into coffee, tea, cats, books, surrealism, and everything inbetween. Reality is hazy and thus I define it by the pages of my paperback friends.

Do I love tea and Haruki Murakami too much? Yes I do.

Me: *reads half of a book in one afternoon*

Me: *puts it down for three months and has to start over when I finally get back to it*

Do you imagine the universe is agitated? Go into the desert at night and look out at the stars. This practice should answer the question….. The master settles her mind as the universe settles the stars in the sky. By connecting her mind with the subtle origin, she calms it. Once calmed, it naturally expands, and ultimately her mind becomes as vast and immeasurable as the night sky.

My favorite smoking blend! I grind up weed with damiana, lavender, jasmine and rose. 🌿

Search and you shall discover the Universal Person, who is yourself and infinitely more. Anyhow, begin by realizing that the world is in you, not you in the world. Your personal body is a part in which the whole is wonderfully reflected. But you have also a universal body. You cannot even say that you do not know it, because you see and experience it all the time. Only you call it “the world” and are afraid of it. Both anatomy and astronomy describe you. You know the world exactly as you know your body - through your senses. It is your mind that has separated the world outside your skin from the world inside and put them in opposition.

“In his forty-third year William Stoner learned what others, much younger, had learned before him: that the person one loves at first is not the person one loves at last, and that love is not an end but a process through which one person attempts to know another.” -John Williams, Stoner

beautiful words🌙

amaranthine: from the greek words for immortal, unfading, and flower, this word describes the eternal beauty of a subject. it’s also a color that is portrayed as darker red-magenta.

mellifluous: meaning “flowing with honey” from the latin terms mel and fluere. this word characterizes sounds that are sweet, musical, or pleasant to hear.

chatoyant: from the french term to iridesce, like a cat’s eye, this word illustrates gemstones reflecting a band of light, or having a changing luster or color similar to the appearance of cats’ eyes.

caliginous: from latin caligin-, this word describes an atmosphere that is dark, misty, or somber. its first known use was in the mid 1500’s and reached the lowest modern peak of its use around the 1950’s.

William Shakespeare was a bisexual kid from a town a hundred miles outside London with the equivalent of a high school education who knocked up a 26-year-old out of wedlock when he was 18 and he wrote 37 plays and 154 sonnets that changed the English language and the nature of Western drama and theater and if that isn’t an argument against elitism and a culture of constant perfectionism I don’t know what is

[an-android-in-a-tutu]

probably why people spend so much time trying to prove he didnt write his own plays

[dukeofbookingham-deactivated202]

Because I can’t help being pedantically insufferable the bit about Shakespeare’s education is somewhat misleading, because the early modern equivalent of “high school” meant learning Greek and Latin and all kinds of things that aren’t par for the course in a 21st-century high school curriculum, but basically yes: Shakespeare was a middle-class human disaster who became the most significant playwright and possibly most influential writer in the western world. Dream big.
