I am driven by two main philosophies, know more about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You’d be surprised how far that gets you.

thepianofarm: “The advice I like to give young artists, or really anybody who’ll listen to me, is not to wait around for inspiration. Inspiration is for amateurs; the rest of us just show up and get to work. If you wait around for the clouds to part and a bolt of lightning to strike you in the brain, you are not going to make an awful lot of work. All the best ideas come out of the process; they come out of the work itself… Inspiration is absolutely unnecessary and somehow deceptive. You feel like you need this great idea before you can get down to work, and I find that’s almost never the case.” - Chuck Close via jeremyokai via the-unnamable

i don’t ask you to love me always like this,
but i ask you to remember.
somewhere inside me
there’ll always be the person
i am tonight.

We have to consciously study how to be tender with each other until it becomes a habit because what was native has been stolen from us… we can practice being gentle with ourselves by being gentle with each other. We can practice being gentle with each other by being gentle with that part of ourselves that is hardest to hold, by giving more to the brave bruised girlchild within each of us.

thenewinquiry: Does time heal all wounds? One of the poems in my book Human Scale contains a section that reads: Time heals No wounds Least of all My own, which I have sat here Licking, year After year, until All I could taste Was your name So I guess the answer is no.

Does time heal all wounds?

One of the poems in my book Human Scale contains a section that reads:

Time heals
No wounds
Least of all

My own, which
I have sat here
Licking, year

After year, until
All I could taste
Was your name

So I guess the answer is no.

[nobody’s going to save you. no one’s going to cut you down, cut the thorns thick around you. no one’s going to storm the castle walls nor kiss awake your birth, climb down your hair, nor mount you onto the white steed. there is no one who will feed the yearning. face it. you will have to do, do it yourself.]
