“But why do I notice everything? […] Why must I think? She did not want to think. She wished that there were blinds like those in railway carriages that came down over the light and hooded the mind. The blue blind that one pulls down on a night journey, she thought. Thinking was torment; why not give up thinking, and drift and dream?”
— Virginia Woolf, from The Years (Mariner Books, 1969)

I believe in a God who understands
why people jump from bridges.
I know that kind of sadness.
That motion, terrifying stillness.
God knows it too, has to know it
too.
— Topaz Winters, from “god is—” poems for the sound of the sky before thunder

“Have you ever noticed when you’re tired, your fingers don’t grip things as tightly as they should? That things slip through them more often than you wish? I feel as though I am those fingers and life is slipping through me.”
