“there are no events but thoughts and the heart’s hard turning, the heart’s slow learning where to love and whom. The rest is merely gossip, and tales for other times”
it is autumn in Australia. teething on vowel shifts... i often think of how the leaves move my bones in their falling:
I adore this selection of quotes. They are making me feel so many feelings, big and small. Thank you!

it is autumn in Australia. teething on vowel shifts... i often think of how the leaves move my bones in their falling:
"I suspect the world remembers everything—
time and bones and words flung together,
and me in it, suspecting. If we can believe
in photons—entities that possess movement
but not mass, and if the spirit, too
is made of light—then who am I to say
I haven’t lived before—or you,
and thus this tenderness?
Who am I to doubt that grace
is elemental like fire—or that souls
have no need of us, finally?"
