I wish I wore glasses. I know it's a silly wish.
My eyesight is perfect. And that really ought not to be such a bummer.
I just really want a pair of unsightly geeky glasses on my face.

Do all lovers feel helpless and valiant in the presence of the beloved?

Took my breath away. This sounds like a painful read, painfully good and real. You have to wonder about the people who can express these things that we just don't know how.

You are beautiful, and you are autumn. I love the shape of your mouth, like you're kissing air. The softness of your hair.

I thought of you today, listening to Ollabelle's "Before This Time", and I realized that when I hear it, in my head it's you singing.

You would love this writer, I think. She, like the character she describes, explains me to myself.

Autumn is a complex time for my heart- transition and change and harvest and dying. It's intense, but immensely beautiful, so thank you so much for comparing me to it. I was talking about something when Celeste took this photo. I don't remember what, but I think I was saying something that starts with "tr." Thus the kiss.

And that is fantastic that you associate Amy Helm's voice with me. Holy moly that's awesome.

You have been conspicuously absent from my friends list, but I'm glad it's because of life and good stuff and not bad stuff or just fading away.

I've been wearing glasses since I was 7 and I don't mind at all! I love glasses.

I know, I've been conspicuously absent from everyone it seems. However, I'm always reading, and I've very much loved seeing the beautiful photos of Benn. He's such a heartbreaker.

I love glasses too. And you are so cute in yours.

when you left on tuesday, i realized that i never got to ask you how you liked the book. all her books draw me in and i never want to stop reading. her sentences just amaze me. like, really, you captured this moment's truth in those words, right there?? she makes it seem so effortless and i want my writing to be like that.
whenever i read one of her books, i want to bookmark/underline/dog ear pages too. i started to and then realized that i'd just end up underlining the whole book. that left me kinda boggled.
you are more than welcome to borrow her others from me as well, once your mind and heart has worked through this one.

Oh thank you so much, honeypie! I'll take you up on that for sure. You're the best.

Oh, I adore Jeanette Winterson (♥)
One of my favourites is Written On The Body; have you read it?

You are always in my life, as if you live just up the road, and whether I hear from you in actuality or not, I always feel your presence and your opinions and your neverending love of the world, and it's in my head and it makes me just a little bit a better person.
