from Fox Sleep | W. S. Merwin

whiskey-robot:

What I thought I had left I kept finding again
    but when I went looking for what I thought I remembered
as anyone could have foretold it was not there
    when I went away looking for what I had to do
I found that I was living where I was a stranger
    but when I retraced my steps the familiar vision
turned opaque and all surface and in the wrong places
    and the places where I had been a stranger appeared to me
to be where I had been at home called by name and answering
    getting ready to go away and going away

“ Judging vs Living. If I am judging this moment, I am not living it. If I am living it, I am not judging it. Judging is head centered, living is heart centered. Judging springs from doubt and insecurity. Living springs from love and contentment. And each moment I choose again, as my choice a moment ago is no longer relevant.

“ Six mistakes mankind keeps making century after century:
Believing that personal gain is made by crushing others;
Worrying about things that cannot be changed or corrected;
Insisting that a thing is impossible because we cannot accomplish it;
Refusing to set aside trivial preferences;
Neglecting development and refinement of the mind;
Attempting to compel others to believe and live as we do.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

oldtobegin:

and i always get confused because in supermarkets they turn the lights off when they want you to leave, but in discos they turn them on, and it’s always sad to go, but it’s never that sad, because there’s only certain places you’re guaranteed of getting a hug when you go, and on the way home, it seems like a good idea to go paddle in the fountain, and that’s because it IS a good idea, and it’s like we’re all how rousseau depicts man in the state of nature - we’re undeveloped, we’re ignorant, we’re stupid, but we’re happy

pdvmorris:

When the hawk’s in the kitchen and the sirens in bloom
And the losers have been swept from the gin mills
Hello sucker, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
34th Street good tidings to you

And will you meet me in Paradise Alley tonight
We’ll leave town in a bottle of whiskey
And come on, you old scarecrow, and be a wheel, not a lamppost
Just put a saddle on a wishbone, and you’re halfway there ~ T.W.

birdhaus: I think of you in the in-between spaces, in the pause before the next heartbeat, in the clench of my chest before I exhale, in the swell of courage before I say hello. And perhaps, one day our lives will occupy one space, touched shoulders, clasped hands, shared secrets. theseoriented
