The mystery of life distresses and frightens us in many ways. Sometimes it comes upon us like a formless phantom, and the soul trembles with the worst of fears – that of the monstrous incarnation of non-being. At other times it’s behind us, visible only as long as we don’t turn around to look at it, and it’s the truth in its profound horror of our never being able to know it.

Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet (via weltenwellen)

There is a moment after you move your eye away when you forget where you are because you’ve been living, it seems, somewhere else, in the silence of the night sky. You’ve stopped being here in the world. You’re in a different place, a place where human life has no meaning. You’re not a creature in a body. You exist as the stars exist, participating in their stillness, their immensity.

Louise Glück, from “Telescope”, Poems 1962-2012 (via weltenwellen)

Gentleness. It was as if the word had been invented for her

What I appreciated most about Alva these days, though, was her gentleness. It was as if the word had been invented for her. She was gentle in the way she repotted plants, formulated a thought, or tenderly stroked the nape of her husband’s neck; the way she wrote a letter, or laid the table, always placing cutlery, plates and glasses with precision. As if she didn’t want to leave anything else to chance.

So I’ve seen a ton of people talking about donating to Planned Parenthood so I just wanted to remind people that there are 2 places to donate and the difference is SUPER important!

Planned Parenthood Federation of America is the healthcare side which takes care of all the stuff going on inside your local clinic. The website is blue, and any money it receives cannot go to any political or legal actions because of the government funding they receive. Their site looks like this:

Planned Parenthood Action Fund is the side which handles the politics. Their website is pink, they fund any legal actions, protests, rallies, any political thing you can think of they handle. Their site looks like this:

The action fund has already filed against Ohio’s 6 week abortion ban and are making moves to file against other states including Alabama. I know it’s a tough time for women’s rights right now but the best way to help out is by donating money and staying involved.
