Lacexleaves - New Beginnings

do you ever get that really hollow feeling when you show someone something you like and they don’t necessarily appreciate or like it that much and it’s like you’ve just revealed the secret to retrieve the library of Alexandria to a hunchbacked old woman from the Victorian era who doesn’t know how to read?

my five year plan? read a lot of books. visit museums. walk through woods. stand in a river. adopt a little kitty. drink lemonade while sitting in a rocking chair on my porch.

It has been raining all day and there’s just something so wonderfully refreshing about watching rain drizzle on red pavements and the calm, soothing sound of water trickling down the roads, Magic’s in the air! Let’s ask lone birds for directions to nymphland and embark upon a quest for magical toadstools!

April 13,

Islets of grey amidst a sea of coral and azure. I could breathe in the beauty of the evening and spend a lifetime in its transitions from russet and gold to the dimness of twilight. Poetry, happiness and peace are in the air for those who care. Beautiful. Beautiful. I can’t repeat it enough times. I am lost and found again. Redemption is sweet.

"The sky can wait…"

Sit with me in my bedroom when it is dark outside and quiet within, and you will see a part of myself put away with a July sunset years ago. I will reluctantly explain what psychic continuity and the human conception of personhood is to me, as chance reflections slip out, like the confusing threads of reason that circle my opinions. What intellect, as percieved, means to conciousness and dignity, the weight of insignificance to love on the soul, of eternity and chaos, of the infinite and the fractal. We will hold hands under my broken lamp and fly where angels are too afraid to soar. up, up, up, until we look god in the eye. The self and linear time will fall apart as toys in the hands of a child who has glimpsed what truth is. 

when you get this, please respond with five things that make you happy! then, send to your last ten people in your notifs (anonymously). you never know who might benefit from spreading positivity♡

Thank you for the ask!

1. Walks alone with no destination where I can gather lots and lots of weeds and ferns and just wander as I please.

2. Keeping all the doors and windows open during rain.

3. Some odd songs that are just so dear and impossibly sweet that you want to throw your arms around them.

4. Old chocolate wrappers.

5. Finding silly notes written in book margins long ago.

Winters in Retrospect

You're my wall.

It's rueful, the smile I give

When, tired, I lean my head against your chest

Standing stock straight the both of us

In freezing December waters,

Our shoelaces tied in pretty a noose.

Monsoon eats at our hand

Rested on the windowpane

Sometimes even the cold cannot replace the rain.
