I'm only one small person in a very big place. That's all. But together, we are a force. Together, we are a majority. Love your life. Don't get too stressed. Let the little things slide, and help anyone you can however you can. If you don't, who knows if someone else will? Love each other. Some people have no hope. Be their hope. Give them hope. I love you. Someone loves you.
That’s why he’s great; he plays everything as though he’s in love with it.
Audrey Niffenegger, The Time Traveler’s Wife
June 25th
While the lady bugs
blushed and covered their frames, I
gave up innocence.
June 26th
Praying instead of
worrying — a warm cloak of
comfort covers me.
June 27th
I was a flat sheet.
Your crafty hands folded me
into dimensions.
June 28th
I believe in the
power of prayer. I shun the
illness of quick fear.
June 29th
You answer my prayers,
but I don’t need proof of your
glory. Faithfulness.
June 9th
Living and learning
and baking and tasting. Life
well live is well loved.
June 10th
Scribbling words on
the wall, a girl cries out. Who
can understand her?
June 11th
I had forgotten
the scent of sand, along with
the joys of childhood.
June 12th
Dear Pharaoh, Joseph —
who once wore an ornate robe —
saved Egypt from death.
June 13th
My nerves are shot, bang!
Falling from trees, shattering.
No patience lives here.
May 26th
Hi, (shakes hand) nice to
meet you. I’m Haley. I’ll for-
get your name. (Leaves)
May 27th
Vintage cookbooks and
reoccurring worries. Guess
which one I like best?
May 28th
Darling, dear, hurry
the hell up and get home. Love,
your waiting girlfriend.
May 23rd
A broken D-string,
begging now for one last pluck.
Mute and voiceless — hanging.
May 24th
A little sugar
to sweeten my breakfast. Mask-
ing reality.
May 25th
Puny, green, every
day pill. In you, I confide
dependence for health.
When you’re human, Ark, I love you; but somehow it seems as though you had forgotten how to be human for the last twenty years.
Edgar Rice Burroughs, Tarzan of the Apes
He killed for
food most often, but, being a man, he sometimes killed for
pleasure, a thing which no other animal does; for it has remained
for man alone among all creatures to kill senselessly and wantonly
for the mere pleasure of inflicting suffering and death.
Edgar Rice Burroughs, Tarzan of the Apes
Ah, John, i wish that I might be a man with a man’s philosophy, but I am but a woman seeing with my heart rather than my head, and all that I can see is too horrible, too unthinkable to put into words.
Edgar Rice Burroughs, Tarzan of the Apes
As she took up the little live baby of Alice Clayton she dropped the dead body of her own into the empty cradle; for the wail of the living had answered the call of universal motherhood within her wild breast which the dead could not still.
Edgar Rice Burroughs, Tarzan of the Apes
So, did you
think we wouldn’t care
about you
-
now? Or did
you do it for more
attention?
-
Or were you
serious for once
in your life?
