“I would like to tell of that everyone feels the strongest need to feel desired, and the fact that in this circle of desire almost never happens, that two desires meet and match each other, is one of the biggest tragedies of human existance.”

- Pedro Almodovar, in the interview of “The Law of Desire” (via hedonismus) (via wine-loving-vagabond)

“Rain is a naked prayer that you speak out slowly. As I isolate a single drop on the window pane, and watch it make the journey south I think of you. My love - you are the prayer on my lips that I will swallow like rain drops.”

“For most of life, nothing wonderful happens. If you don’t enjoy getting up and working and finishing your work and sitting down to a meal with family or friends, then the chances are that you’re not going to be very happy. If someone bases his happiness or unhappiness on major events like a great new job, huge amounts of money, a flawlessly happy marriage or a trip to Paris, that person isn’t going to be happy much of the time. If, on the other hand, happiness depends on a good breakfast, flowers in the yard, a drink or a nap, then we are more likely to live with quite a bit of happiness.”

“Hiding your hurt only intensifies it. Problems grow in the dark and only become bigger and bigger, but when exposed to the light of truth, they shrink. You are only as sick as your secrets. So take off your mask, stop pretending you’re perfect and walk into freedom.”

"Letters swallow themselves in seconds. Notes friends tied to the doorknob, transparent scarlet..."

Sun, 10 Feb 2013 15:34:53 -0500

“

Letters swallow themselves in seconds.
Notes friends tied to the doorknob,
transparent scarlet paper,
sizzle like moth wings,
marry the air.

So much of any year is flammable,
lists of vegetables, partial poems.
Orange swirling flame of days,
so little is a stone.

Where there was something and suddenly isn’t,
an absence shouts, celebrates, leaves a space.
I begin again with the smallest numbers.

Quick dance, shuffle of losses and leaves,
only the things I didn’t do
crackle after the blazing dies.

”

“An anthropologist proposed a game to the kids in an African tribe. He put a basket full of fruit near a tree and told the kids that who ever got there first won the sweet fruits. When he told them to run they all took each others hands and ran together, then sat together enjoying their treats. When he asked them why they had run like that as one could have had all the fruits for himself they said: ”UBUNTU, how can one of us be happy if all the other ones are sad?” UBUNTU in the Xhosa culture means: “I am because we are…””
