“

since feeling is first
who pays any attention
to the syntax of things
will never wholly kiss you;

wholly to be a fool
while Spring is in the world

my blood approves,
and kisses are a far better fate
than wisdom
lady i swear by all flowers. Don’t cry
—the best gesture of my brain is less than
your eyelids’ flutter which says

we are for eachother: then
laugh, leaning back in my arms
for life’s not a paragraph

And death i think is no parenthesis

(via littlemiss) I recently heard a story about a pastor that went on a hiking trip with some students. When they reached the top of the mountain, the students looked out over the trees, over the rocks, over the river far below. &#8220;This is so beautiful,&#8221; they breathed, &#8220;Nature is beautiful.&#8221; The pastor was quiet for a moment, until he replied, &#8220;Yes, but nature wasn&#8217;t created in God&#8217;s image.&#8221;

A prayer.

I want to mirror your immensity.
I want never to be to weak or too old
to bear the heavy, lurching image of you.

I want to unfold.
Let no place in me hold itself closed,
for where I am closed, I am false.
I want to stay clear in your sight.

- Rilke

#1: Write when you don't feel like writing.

Just for safe keeping
I will place my heart in yours
In case I lose it.

“ There will never be
anyone, anywhere that
loves you like I do.

Is there anything better than placing 19 books on hold at the library? I think not. Or maybe there is. Yes, knowing that, very soon, my days will be filled with the endless pleasure of sunshine and literature. Bliss.
