 sunrise above the clouds :: dutch mints make any day brighter

She did not need much, wanted very little.
A kind word, sincerity, fresh air, clean water,
kisses, books to read, sheltering arms, a cosy bed,
and to love and be loved in return
-Starra Neely Blade

 the city lights fuel my soul :: sprinkles cupcakes–death at its finest
Even
After
All this time
The Sun never says to the Earth,
"You owe me."
Look
What happens
With a love like that,
It lights the whole sky.”
-Hafiz

 early morning breakfast with blackberries :: eva keeps me company

Everybody has a secret world inside of them. 
All of the people of the world, I mean everybody. 
No matter how dull and boring they are on the 
outside, inside them they've all got unimaginable, 
magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds. 
Not just one world. Hundreds of them. Thousands maybe.
-Neil Gaiman, The Sandman

restoring joy

our mouths were filled with laughter
our tongues they were loosed with joy
restore us oh lord, restore us oh lord
although we are weeping lord help us keep sowing
the seed of your kingdom for the day you will reap them
your sheaths we will carry
lord please do not tarry
all those who sow weeping will go out with songs of joy.

Small Joys


 the small joys in life are getting me through the rest of the semester
...
...
It is not easy … to wait. Waiting is what the hunter does, and the poet and the slugger. He waits for the moment of inevitability and fate and then he swings, or shoots, or takes up the pen to put down a line. They don’t teach us to wait in America; they teach us to grab. But waiting is what we do when we are looking for something beautiful, when we are looking for an end to our sorrow. Nothing is infinite in life, not even sorrow. You just have to wait.

...
We'll fall just like stars being hung by only string
Everything, everything, here is gone
No map can direct how to ever make it home
...

 Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
