it has to be loved as if it were embroidered with flowers and birds

 

no suit of armour ever offers a comparable sense of protection than to be desired

to be desired is the closest anybody can reach in life to feeling immortal

John Berger

journey to softness

A love story occured during the last few weeks
with my deepest inner self

It arrived at through body
and imagination
and
I am changed

I love that self deep within me now
where before I had not recognized her / him
and did not realize that she/he was even there

Not emotionally teetering anymore but rather,
on a journey to softness

relics

 

a relic is an object havig interest because of its age and association with the past
a fetish is an object believed to contain a spirit, have magical powers

both relic and fetish try to capture the essence of an experience

sacrifice

 

sacrifice

a word that does not mean to give up
it means to make sacred

stardust

 

I know what you are made of
You are made of stardust

yes that sounds like magic
that is what you are

accumulation

 

there is a beauty in the accumulation of time
