“Collect Rocks. That’s All. But Not Just Any Rocks. You Are An Intelligent Woman So You Look For

“Collect rocks. That’s all. But not just any rocks. You are an intelligent woman so you look for the unimaginable inside the ordinary. Go to places you would not ordinarily go alone - riverbanks. Deep woods. The part of the ocean shore where peoples’ gazes disappear. Wade in all waters. When you find a group of rocks, you must stare at them a long while before you choose, let your eyes adjust, use what you know of the long wait waiting. Let your imagination change what you know. Suddenly a gray rock becomes ashen or clouded with dream. A ring round a rock is luck. To find a red rock is to discover earthblood. Blue rocks make you believe in them. Patterns and flecks on rocks are bits of different countries and terrains, speckled questions. Conglomerates are the movement of land in the freedom of water, smoothed into a small thing you can hold in your hand, rub against your face. Sandstone is soothing and lucid. Shale, of course, is rational. Find pleasure in these ordinary palm worlds. Help yourself prepare for a life. Recognize when there are no words for the pain, when there are no words for the joy, there are rocks.”

Lidia Yuknavitch, The Chronology of Water

the sandwich story kills me

Katrina: “I Take A Big Bite Of A Sandwich Right Before Omar Sharif, And Sometimes There’ll Be Like

Katrina: “I take a big bite of a sandwich right before Omar Sharif, and sometimes there’ll be like a little cucumber seed that decides to come out in the middle of a big note. It’s usually not a problem, but now and then, oh boy — my eyes might start watering, and I’m like, ‘Oh my God, this is the moment when I just start coughing.’ There’s a war between me and some cucumber happening.”
