Living with life is very hard. Mostly we do our best to stifle life - to be tame or to be wanton, to be tranquillised or raging. Extremes have the same effect; they insulate us from the intensity of life.
And extremes - whether of dullness or fury - successfully prevent feeling. I know our feelings can be so unbearable that we employ ingenious strategies—unconscious strategies—to keep those feelings away. We do a feelings-swap, where we avoid feeling sad or lonely or afraid or inadequate, and feel angry instead. It can work the other way, too—sometimes you do need to feel angry, not inadequate; sometimes you do need to feel love and acceptance, and not the tragic drama of your life.
It takes courage to feel the feeling—and not trade it on the feelings-exchange, or even transfer it altogether to another person.
”

— Jeanette Winterson

Poem of the Month

This is my new favorite poem.  enjoy!

Lear's Wife, by W.S. Merwin


If he had ever asked me
I could have told him

If he had listened to me
it would have been
another story

I knew them before
they were born

with Goneril at my breast
I looked at the world
and saw blood in darkness
and tried to wake

with Regan at my breast
I looked at the world
and covered my mouth

with Cordelia in my arms
at my breast
I wanted to call out to her
in love and helplessness
and I wept

as for him
he had forgotten me
even before they did

only Cordelia
did not forget
anything
but when asked she said
nothing

dedicated to Niiiiiiccchhhoooooooooo

issues with commitment

“My passionate sense of social justice and social responsibility has always contrasted oddly with my pronounced lack of need for direct contact with other human beings and human communities. I am truly a ‘lone traveler’ and have never belonged to my country, my home, my friends, or even my immediate family, with my whole heart; in the face of all these ties, I have never lost a sense of distance and a need for solitude…”

— Albert Einstein, The World as I see it

One takes the straight line,
another goes in a circle
and longs for the return to the parents’ house
and longs for a former girlfriend.
But I go, not in a straight line or in a zigzag,
into nowhere and never,
and disasters follow me
like trains crashing off the tracks.

“I’m almost never serious, and I’m always too serious. Too deep, too shallow. Too sensitive, too cold hearted. I’m like a collection of paradoxes.”

I was lucky enough to spend the weekend in Naivasha but even luckier to be the co-pilot. This is going right into the rift valley. Not to be tacky but it was sooooooo fucking cool.

tough titty, kitty

for those of you who know and love jasper (I'm looking at you, tin), it was recently recommended I transform my fluffy little man into a sad, shaved shadow of his former self in the interests of his "health" and "comfort." whatever. I know jaspy cares more about his looks than anything but I love him so much that I'm going to do it, despite how embarrassed he's gonna feel.

L'Eclisse

tonight all i want to do with watch this film. one of my absolute favorites and just looking at the photos makes me happy and sad. i recommend it to you (tantrum) i don't know if i have already told you to watch it. i wish people returned films after they watched them but it kind of makes me happy to think i accidentally gifted this one.
