'i would ask: have you ever licked honey from a spoon? soon above us flowers will grow and people will stomp, fall in love, do their taxes, peel oranges and point out the birds.' So lovely.

Is the perpetual lowercaseness inspired by e.e. cummings?

I'll never be able to express what these articles do for me. Why should a life last longer than a cloud? So it can read ars poetica!

Thank you for these moments of perfectly intermingling reflexion and wonder ; this one made me think at 'A ghost story', one of my favourite movies, which I highly recommend to anyone contemplative (so everyone ending here I guess)
