habitual sleeplessness

woke up on the side of a mountain searing quartz in my hand woke up gasping for air, invocations on the side of a mountain.

So my plan has always just been to do what I love for as long as I can. I think that’s all we ever do, you know?

cosmopolite

Not wholly this or that, But wrought Of alien bloods am I, A product of the interplay Of traveled hearts. Estranged, yet not estranged, I stand All comprehending; From my estate I view earth’s frail dilemma; Scion of fused strength am I, All understanding, Nor this nor that Contains me.

-Georgia Douglas Johnson

atomic peace

each day moves like river water fresh life rushing   through our bodies geese fly in formation sailing across the sky survival is full of grace. s.s.

spend it all

"One of the few things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book, or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better. These things fill from behind, from beneath, like well water. Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes." - Annie Dillard
