Fisherman & Cats by zoonabar on Flickr.
anyways remember when toni morrison said "sometimes you don't survive whole, you just survive in part. but the grandeur of life is that attempt. it's not about that solution. it is about being as fearless as one can, and behaving as beautifully as one can, under completely impossible circumstances."
everyone say thank you toni morrison
a murakami protagonist day*
do the dishes
make your bed
read a book in silence
get the groceries for one or two meals
have a beer
go for a walk
(get a phone call from nobody)
follow a cat through the neighborhood
do the laundry
change your sheets
sit on your couch and listen to a full album
take a shower
sit on your balcony at night
go to a diner alone and have a bite to eat
watch people from afar
take a train to the next town
call an old friend
clean your room or house
take a nap
have a cup of tea
paint or draw
air out the room
stretch or do yoga
(* murakami’s descriptions of his protagonists’ day to day lives always seem so mundane and calming to me that I thought I’d list a few activities that fit right in and might calm me, too.)
To live in this world you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go.
Mary Oliver, from "In Blackwater Woods" in American Primitive
These lines (first from the films, thereafter from the books) taught me something profoundly essential about how to be there for a friend, a lover, or a loved one when they are consumed by despair, weighed down by grief, or overwhelmed by the weight of mental torment. It taught me that some burdens are sacredly personal; untransferable tasks that each of us must face in our own time and way.
Yet, while we cannot take their pain or carry their burden for them (no matter how much we wish we could), there is something else we can do. While we cannot lift their burden, we can lift them. We can carry their weary body, their weary heart, as they bear the weight of their pain. In doing so, we offer them a sanctuary — a place of care and safety, where they can begin to confront their hurt without the fear of being alone in its gaze.
While the pain may be theirs to bear, the journey through it need not be traveled in solitude.

sometimes the only closure you will get is knowing that everything you did was done earnestly and out of love
