hearing genuine laughter from the people you love is the most healing sound

“Quietness, silence, total stillness, it is the greatest teacher. Reality shines through when there is silence. If you want to experience reality just keep quiet. That is all you have to do. Shut up. Stop talking. Stop thinking. Stop imagining. Leave it all alone.”

— Robert Adams

I am not composing poetry. I am trying to get out of the flames.

Ted Hughes, from an uncompleted poem written c. May 1969 (via violentwavesofemotion)

Erich Salomon - Kastanjeboom met feestverlichting, tegenover Koninklijk Paleis Noordeinde, 26-8-1938

When I was in school, one of my art teachers used to say “this world needs more creators. There’s more than enough destroyers in the world today.”

Just a reminder, if you create anything–art, writing, food, machines, ideas, equations, knits, tools, gardens–the world needs you.

Heaven-invading hills are drowned

In wide moving waves of mist,

Phlox before my door are wound

In dripping wreaths of amethyst.

-Sara Teasdale, White Fog
