“Something in her was violently sensual, alive, earthy…”

“It was suicide. Others killed themselves with poison or with a revolver. I killed myself with minutes and hours.”

— Henri Barbusse, Hell

“Ordinarily, I go to the woods alone, with not a single friend, for they are all smilers and talkers and therefore unsuitable.

I don’t really want to be witnessed talking to the catbirds or hugging the old black oak tree. I have my way of praying, as you no doubt have yours.

Besides, when I am alone I can become invisible. I can sit on the top of a dune as motionless as an uprise of weeds,

until the foxes run by unconcerned. I can hear the almost unhearable sound of the roses singing.

If you have ever gone to the woods with me, I must love

you very much.”

Mary Oliver ~ Swan: Poems and Prose Poems

•The Woman who has Herself•

When a woman has herself

you can enter or leave her life

you can flatter or judge her

and she, she will receive or say goodbye to you kindly

and she will thank you and understand your shadows

because she already knows hers.

You probably won't tolerate it and at the same time

you want to own it and you will end up walking away

from her if you don't have the courage to respect her.

When a woman has herself

the Universe Dances at her feet, and She rises.

She becomes compassionate.

She chooses.

She is aware.

She gives and receives Love.

It is easy to recognize it.

The Woman Who Has Herself

she smiles in the sun as in the storm.

She celebrates life and understands death.

She lives and dances the processes.

She doesn't have a hue, she's a rainbow.

“Our life force comes from sky, earth, water and fire; use that magic to fly high, swim naked like a fish; give back to mother earth some of what she gives you.”

“The happiness belonging to certain states of life appeals to us; take, for instance, the life of a shepherd in the country. The charm of seeing these good people so happy is not poisoned by envy; we are genuinely interested in them. Why is this? Because we feel we can descend into this state of peace and innocence and enjoy the same happiness.”

— Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Emile, or On Education

[books-n-quotes]

“Our great democracies still tend to think that a stupid man is more likely to be honest than a clever man, and our politicians take advantage of this prejudice by pretending to be even more stupid than nature made them.” ― Bertrand Russell, New Hopes for a Changing World

Buildings are beautiful when people feel well in them. When the light inside is beautiful and the air is pleasant, when the exchange with the outside seems easy and gentle. When uses and sensations are unexpected - far beyond any aesthetic and formal determination, and far beyond the rules, standards and programs.

Anne Lacaton

"To some people a tree is something so incredibly beautiful that it brings tears to the eyes. To others it is just a green thing that stands in the way."

Emotionally unavalaible men are not attractive. “Bad boys” are not attractive. Good looking men who use you just for sex are not attractive. Men who act like your boyfriend but don’t want to commit are not attractive. Fuckboys are not attractive. Men who treat you like crap, don’t reciprocate your feelings, leave you feeling confused about your situation are not attractive. Please value yourself.

please could you be tender?

“It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing.

It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream, for the adventure of being alive.

I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own, if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, to be realistic, to remember the limitations of being human.

I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.”
