Do not ask your children

to strive for extraordinary lives.

Such striving may seem admirable,

but it is the way of foolishness.

Help them instead to find the wonder

and the marvel of an ordinary life.

Show them the joy of tasting tomatoes, apples and pears.

Show them how to cry when pets and people die.

Show them the infinite pleasure in the touch of a hand.

And make the ordinary come alive for them.

The extraordinary will take care of itself.

William Martin, “The Parent’s Tao Te Ching”

Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and being alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You have to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes too near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself that you tasted as many as you could.

Louise Erdrich, “The Painted Drum”

Movie recommendation: Noroi: The Curse (2005)

One of the most effectively unsettling movies I’ve seen in quite awhile.

A prominent paranormal journalist named Kobayashi goes missing shortly after completing a documentary. What begins as an investigation into strange noises soon evolves into the chilling mystery of a demonic entity named Kagutaba.

What is depression?

It is loneliness.

It is forgetfulness.

It is homesickness.

It is realizing that you shouldn’t be homesick, because you are already home; and that makes you more homesick than ever.

It is the absence of joy, of vitality, of significance.

It is looking at a piece of art and seeing nothing but a vague jumble of colors and images.

It is lying in your bed at night, silent tears streaming down your face, begging whatever god you believe in to make it stop.

It is isolation.

It is knowing you are isolated, and knowing that it’s wrong, but feeling too weak to change it.

It is thinking you should stay isolated, because no one wants to be around you anyway.

It is emptiness.

It is loneliness.

It is wanting desperately to go someplace familiar, someplace you feel important, only to remember that no such place exists.

It is dying while you’re still alive.

It is feeling like a stranger in your own head.

It is living every moment in the darkness of night.

And it is hoping and aspiring and believing, despite all the odds,

That one day, the sun will rise again.

No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality: even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream. Hill House, not sane, stood by itself against the hills, holding darkness within; it had stood so for eighty years and might stand for eighty more. Within, walls continued upright, bricks met neatly, floors were firm, and doors were sensibly shut; silence lay steadily against the wood and stone of Hill House, and whatever walked there, walked alone.

Shirley Jackson, The Haunting of Hill House
