“What I think everybody needs is a way to say, ‘Where and how can I love- can I be in love so that I can live? So that I can live with some degree of peace?’” - John Cassavetes
Holding someone's hand was always my idea of joy. Often before falling asleep - in that small struggle not to lose consciousness and enter the greater world - often, before having the courage to go toward the greatness of sleep, I pretend that someone is holding my hand and I go, go toward the enormous absence of form that is sleep. And when even then I can't find the courage, then I dream.
All alone she was. All alone with her soul. She lived on the top of a solitary hill. Her house was small, and bare, and alone too. She seemed like a creature of the forest herself, sometimes. She walked with a swift silent tread. She spoke to no one. No one spoke to her.
Katherine Mansfield, from Selected Prose; "The Lonely One"
Just a reminder that a "neutral stance" on the occupation of Palestine does not exist. You either stand for or against ethnic cleansing and apartheid. You're not big brained/an intellectual for "seeing both sides". At best you're an idiot and at worst you are complicit in the ongoing efforts of Israel to spin this as a "conflict."
We are, in real time, witnessing a tremendous escalation to an already on going ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. There is only one right stance here and you need to get educated.
