I Remembered The Capabilities I Possess And Everything Is Gonna Be Okay

Day after day I think of you as soon as I wake up. Someone has put cries of birds on the air like jewels.

—Anne Carson, “Short Talk On Le Bonheur D’Etre Bien Aimée“  from Short Talks. Brick Books, 1992

Love so deep that every thought is like a little prayer for you

Miles Davis ‎– Bitches Brew (Columbia GP 26, 1970). Cover by Mati Klarwein.

subtle intimacy is so soft!! knowing someone’s routine and slowly becoming a part of it. memorising favourite teas and soups and drink orders. good morning and good night texts and messy paragraphs of love written half asleep. nicknames only you know. just!!! small things that say “look how dear you are to me.”

“If you will grant me one vivid morning, I can chain it to me for fifty years.”

— William Stafford, from Sound of the Ax: Aphorisms and Poems, eds. Vincent Wixon and Paul Merchant (University of Pittsburg Press, 2014)

"Westerners have told the history of Hawai’i as an inevitable if occasionally bittersweet triumph of Western ways over ‘primitive’ Hawai’ian ways... To know my history, I had to put away my books and return to the land. I had to feel again the spirits of nature and take gifts of plants and fish to the ancient altars. I had to begin to speak my language with our elders and leave long silences for wisdom to grow. But before anything else, I had to learn the language like a lover, so that I could rock with her and lie at night in her dreaming arms."
