"It doesn’t make sense to call ourselves ugly, because we don’t really see ourselves. We don’t watch ourselves sleeping in bed, curled up and silent with chests rising and falling with our own rhythm. We don’t see ourselves reading a book, eyes fluttering and glowing. You don’t see yourself looking at someone with love and care inside your heart. There’s no mirror in your way when you’re laughing and smiling and happiness is leaking out of you. You would know exactly how bright and beautiful you are if you saw yourself in the moments where you are truly yourself." (c)

Tulips after Dark

Tulips

I wish I could live with you

In a small town,

Where eternal twilight

And eternal bells,

And in a small country inn – a delicate ringing

Of an old clock – droplets of time.

And sometimes, in the evening, from some attic –

A flute,

And the flutist himself in the window.

And the big tulips on the windowsills.

And maybe you wouldn’t even love me…

Marina Tsvetaeva

“Attention without feeling … is only a report.” 


"Finally I said, Is that you? Is that you whistling? Yes, she
said. I used to whistle, a long time ago. Now I see I can
still whistle. And cadence after cadence she strolled
through the house, whistling.

I know her so well, I think. I thought. Elbow and an-
kle. Mood and desire. Anguish and frolic. Anger too.
And the devotions. And for all that, do we even begin
to know each other? Who is this I’ve been living with
for thirty years?

This clear, dark, lovely whistler?"

Mary Oliver
