for my Love.

“ Sometimes, you have to be apart from people you love, but it doesn’t mean you love them any less. Sometimes, it means you can love them more.

The Last Song

Tonight I think,

I need my thoughts to stretch.

My mind is perplexed.

Overcome with rationality,

I am here.

I want to lay my heart on the side,

bedroom side table,

maybe I will arise.

Pillows kiss my face,

maybe my mind will erase.

Let me continue.

hmm.

“ Part of me loves and respects men so desperately, and part of me thinks they are so embarrassingly incompetent at life and in love. You have to teach them the very basics of emotional literacy.

Anne Lamott, Operating Instructions

ode to John.

“ I have always lived violently, drunk hugely, eaten too much or not at all, slept around the clock or missed two nights of sleeping, worked too hard and too long in glory, or slobbed for a time in utter laziness. I’ve lifted, pulled, chopped, climbed, made love with joy and taken my hangovers as a consequence, not as a punishment.

John Steinbeck

‎"I will not wait to Love the Best as I can. We thought we were young and that there would be time to Love well sometime in the Future. That is a terrible way to think. It is no way to Live, to wait for Love."
-Dave Eggers

“ Humans are the only animal that blushes, laughs, has religion, wages war, and kisses with lips. So in a way, the more you kiss with lips, the more human you are. And the more you wage war.

Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
