Interesting start - by showing simplicity early and then complexity later on.

I always love your words so much.

If you ever feel moved to respond to my interview questions about the relationship between art and mental health in answers of poetry/quotes/your style, I'd love to share that work.

Zero pressure. Just if it feels right as something that adds to your creative process.

It’s the third time your email arrives at the exact moment when I’m in need or when I’m ready to hear exactly what you’re saying.

The world moves in mysterious ways, but I am learning to pay attention.

Thank you.

the mystery is that it’s happening at all.

I believe you are also reading my words when I need you to most.

“No one yet has made a list of places where the extraordinary may happen and where it may not. Still, there are indications … its concern is directed to another place. Its concern is the edge, and the making of a form out of the formlessness that is beyond the edge.”—Mary Oliver, “Upstream”

I am listening to Dido's "Mary's In India" now. I am familiar with the edge of knowing. I feel this whenever I am crossing into new, emotional boundaries. Freedom is an extension of human fear.

Magic does seem to occur in the unlikeliest of spaces. The density of life is not easy to comprehend.

If we strive for the highest stars, it is an exhilarating direction upwards. We must not neglect the inner childhood. I always can rely on your soothing messages little voice. You provoke deep thought and I am grateful of this ancient, tribal wisdom. Thank you for this platform. Readers, writers, and casual thinkers unite.

thank you, little voice.

I sometimes wonder, when faced with the ecstasy of it all, whether anything can be called an ordinary place at all.

I always appreciate your words. 💗
