“W.H. Hudson says that birds feel something akin to pain (and fear) just before migration and that nothing alleviates this feeling except flight (the rapid motion of wings.).”

ms angelou i will never get over this

I turned 30, I quit my job teaching, I write a sentence every day, it feels like sometimes I’m cradling a raw egg in a spoon, I eat a lot of spicy food, looking at emails or writing is no longer one of my responsibilities, I fall in the pit/I climb out of the pit, I don’t text my exes, my cat is my friend and my enemy, I am getting used to being myself and by myself. I love my friends and my family and my house. I know I’m lucky and I even sometimes feel it. TGIf it’s spring bitches

"I wish children didn't die. I wish they would be temporarily elevated to the skies until the war ends. Then they would return home safe, and when their parents would ask them “Where were you?” They would say “We were “playing in the clouds” Ghassan Kanafani, Palestinian author and leader of PFLP.

Six years after his assassination, a collection of his stories entitled “Ghassan Kanafani’s Children” was published in Beirut. Most of its heroes are children, and it is directed to young people. It was accompanied by paintings by the Syrian artist Burhan al-Din Karkutli. Karkutli, who was born in Damascus and lived in Germany, moved in his paintings between Syria, Morocco, Mexico, and Palestine, and many of his works depicted popular Damascene life and the Palestinian cause, inspiring many artists even today.

The text reads,

“YOU WERE FRANTIC AND FOOLISH, YOU KEPT NO TRACK OF TIME, YOU RAN YOUR DELICATE BODY INTO ITS NATURAL END, YOU BURNED ALL YOUR CANDLES TO STUMPS, YOU ARE TIRED AND HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO LAY DOWN, YOU HAVE EARNED THIS REPERCUSSION, THIS REWARD, THIS RECKONING, YOU FINALLY  NEED TO KNOW

HOW TO DECAY GRACEFULLY

LIE STILL (x13) ”
