I'm still here everyday

I am here now too.

What can happen in a second?

A kiss can change the course of a lifetime. A yes. A no. A glance. A heart can stop, a heart can start. A choice can be made (think quick). Fog can lift. The truth can happen in a second, the seeds of a lie. Rain can begin.  A conception, a revelation, the root of an infatuation. A blink inside a blink (think quick).

Good Things #1 

[thesecrethistory]

This is my new project, you may have seen it floating around tumblr - pieces of paper on which you write all good things that happen to you throughout the year and put them into the jar to read at the end of the year. I'm going to fill it with poems, prose, sketches etc. and will post the images here. I'm not going to commit to every single day, but I hope to post frequently. Any one care to join me? x

will you ever write again?

I still write, just not here, but yes, soon I will post things here again.

Lessons I have learnt.

Everything I learnt about grief

I learnt before my tenth birthday.

  Right here,

dressed in yellow, hiding behind

the legs of life and clinging to its knees,

tugging on its skirt.

the trees show me the shape of the wind.

what do you love about reading, writing, the written word, the English language?

The flexibility, the creativity, the endless amount of possibility. The application of imagination, plucking entire worlds from thin air.
