here are some beautiful things:
The Most Blonde Woman in the World
Judy Grahn
The most blonde woman in the world
one day threw off her skin
her hair, threw off her hair, declaring
‘Whosoever chooses to love me
chooses to love a bald woman
with bleeding pores.’
Those who came then as her lovers
were small hard-bodied spiders
with dark eyes and an excellent
knowledge of weaving.
They spun her blood into long strands,
and altogether wove millions of red
webs, webs red in the afternoon sun.
‘Now,’ she said, ‘Now I am expertly loved,
and now I am beautiful.’
"I want to shake off this awful tiredness but I can't."
"I wanted change and excitement and to shoot off in all directions myself, like the colored arrows from a Fourth of July rocket." - Sylvia Plath
"I fell into the eyes of every person I passed on the street." - Miranda July, no one belongs here more than you
"I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them. I shall use my time." - Jack London
"The hardest arithmetic to master is that which enables us to count our blessings." - Eric Hoffer, Refelections on the Human Condition
FACT: Ancient Egyptians believed that if you had a Sparrow tattooed on your body it would carry all the souls of you and who you love into the next life together.
Paris, Je T'aime
FACT: The pupil of the eye expands as much as 45 percent when a person looks at something pleasing.
"Sometimes I think about everything and
I
Am
So
Sorry."
