“Detail of the Lion Armour of French king Henry II, 500 years old.”

French kings were considered to be God’s representative, and to have healing powers.

(Leila L’Abate)

* * * *

Literature was born not the day when a boy crying wolf, wolf came running out of the Neanderthal valley with a big gray wolf at his heels: literature was born on the day when a boy came crying wolf, wolf and there was no wolf behind him. That the poor little fellow because he lied too often was finally eaten up by a real beast is quite incidental. But here is what is important. Between the wolf in the tall grass and the wolf in the tall story there is a shimmering go-between. That go-between, that prism, is the art of literature. -Vladimir Nabokov :: [Life is Poetry]

Human Existence

Traveling after wiping a lot of sweat

To experience thrills and their existence

Wondering what more could have done

Until energy drains up and gone

Questions to questions to questions

Making good and bad decisions

Leading down to what you think which deserves

Its never enough where it’s just stories and soils

No such thing as salvation

Fear eats up the whole meaning of whole

You’ll build what you are and what you can do

Reality stands your way but can you say no? No?

Destiny is just a word, an illusion

Your story is in your hands, just fight on

No matter what the ripper says

It’s the default of our lives, lets boost it

No, a lot shits no makes sense

Nothing will make sense

Where your focus is on the wrong place

It should be in what’s in front of your face

Stop finding the happiness that is not working

Start finding the happiness that will make you say “I’m glad, I kept on living”

The hawk screams in the canapy of the oak. Below him, the cardinals flutter in fear and anger, calling sharp, staccato warnings.

God sent the rain and a moment of coolness. I baked the cookies and bacon, spreading homey delight with scent of relief.

Beauty is home, there to see if we only look up and take a deep breath.

Sometimes, it isn’t the one who takes your breath away, it’s the one that reminds you to breathe.

Heal yourself, save your life It is something only you can guide It ain’t sweetness, support, or understanding It ain’t enough to keep on fighting We both know that doesn’t work at all It’s like a missing key to your wake-up call It’s not us, your loved ones, nor your family You have to find it yourself, somewhere in your memory Only you can find it Only you can do it Only you will win it Only you can retrieve it

I've laughed with friends, talked to my parents, watered plants, chased away a sales man, put fresh sheets on the bed, brewed tea, made bread.

Life is good, even when you're fatigued and brain-fogged.
