I’m happy to have you, if only for a small moment, not to remind me of emptiness, but to find the pieces of myself that I scattered atop mountains and at the bottom of the sea.

A picture from a last minute weekend trip home.
You said, ain’t this just like the present
To be showing up like this?
As a moon waned to crescent
We started to kiss
And I said I know it well
That secret that we know that we don’t know how to tell
Bon Iver - Blood Bank (studio version) (by sklyrovka)

“A gentleman is simply a patient wolf.”
- Lana Turner
Mark Twain
“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness. And many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one’s lifetime.”
some MLK favorites
“When we look at modern man, we have to face the fact…that modern man suffers from a kind of poverty of the spirit, which stands in glaring contrast to his scientific and technological abundance; We’ve learned to fly the air like birds, we’ve learned to swim the seas like fish, and yet we haven’t learned to walk the Earth as brothers and sisters…”
“The potential beauty of human life is constantly made ugly by man’s ever-recurring song of retaliation.”
“Occasionally in life there are those moments of unutterable fulfillment which cannot be completely explained by those symbols called words. Their meanings can only be articulated by the inaudible language of the heart.”
“If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in a great way”
“Again and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.”
“Not everybody can be famous but everybody can be great because greatness is determined by service… You only need a heart full of grace and a soul generated by love.”
