Adrift
by Mark Nepo
Everything is beautiful and I am so sad.
This is how the heart makes a duet of
wonder and grief. The light spraying
through the lace of the fern is as delicate
as the fibers of memory forming their web
around the knot in my throat. The breeze
makes the birds move from branch to branch
as this ache makes me look for those I’ve lost
in the next room, in the next song, in the laugh
of the next stranger. In the very center, under
it all, what we have that no one can take
away and all that we’ve lost face each other.
It is there that I’m adrift, feeling punctured
by a holiness that exists inside everything.
I am so sad and everything is beautiful.

All the steps I didn't take, and paths proved untrue
Is there any path through?
First time uploading a drawing, hope you guys like it! I'm planning on starting to post them on here too, since Twitter is sinking

We are adrift, and the thinnest breeze may blow us where it will.

Anyone else still got chills about how Ashley sings "All things that lose their way can find it again, there is no inertia in the ocean" even after a hundred listen? Just me?

These days are calmer than before.
These nights are softer still.
These hours lap against my feet,
back and forth, until
I close my eyes and drift amidst
the ocean of my soul.
And when I reach the shore again,
I feel nothing at all.
— From Winter, ‘Adrift’

I love how Jack is like 'I know everything.... I have so many secrets.... I know what you're all up to behind my back.... oh, Ianto? Dunno, he was running around doing something, looked happy, didn't want to bother him. Maybe he built a nuclear reactor in the basement.'
And the fact that Ianto is the only one Jack shares the most horrifying secrets of Torchwood with??????? Even Gwen had to figure out things he already knew (Adrift episode) on her own because Jack shields the others from that knowledge.
(Excerpt from the book 'Slowly Decay')
Ianto knows all(?) of the Torchwood building, runs the archives, knows about the other Torchwood bases and 'subsidiary organizations' (if I can call it that), knows about people cryogenically frozen
Girrrrl, he could lead Torchwood himself if needed, because in the absence of Jack he becomes the most competent employee????
Sometimes I think about how important Ianto actually is to Torchwood right from the start, even if he says he just makes coffee
