“Once [a cat] has given its love, what absolute confidence, what fidelity of affection! It will make itself the companion of your hours of work, of loneliness, or of sadness. It will lie the whole evening on your knee, purring and happy in your society, and leaving the company of creatures of its own society to be with you.”
― Théophile Gautier, Ménagerie intime

To see a world in a grain of sand
And heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand and eternity in an hour.
-William Blake.
A few days back, a stroll through the park brought my attention to this fierce wild flower, which was surrounded by only seedless, fruitless and flowerless bushes...It had no reason to have blossomed there with its perfect hues and texture and standing out, yet it did.
Its easier to be someone when everyone around you is similar, but its very difficult to be yourself when you’re surrounded by people who won’t grow, who won’t let you grow!
This little fierce flower on a random afternoon, showed me the vibrance of standing out and that sometimes its worth being in thrones if you can add your color to the world! 💔

The sap
Wells like tears, like the
Water striving
To re-establish its mirror
Over the rock. —Sylvia Plath

In rivers, the water that you touch is the last of what has passed and the first of that which comes; so with present time. - Leonardo Da Vinci.
Everytime I go back to the river, it breathes new inspiration, new meaning, new life into me.
It pulls you in with a frivolous gravity. It takes you to a world you cannot fathom in its absence. Water is life!

the trouble with writing is that it’s literally always easier to just lie facedown on your floor and make inarticulate noises

“We woke in the mornings
to the stirring of olive trees in the breeze,
to the bleating of your grandmother’s goat,
the clanking of her cooking pots,
the air cool and the sun
a pale rim of persimmon to the east.” (Sea Prayer)
