A Mary Oliver Quote That Peeled Me Like A Fruit

It looks like you’re the one i’ve been waiting for

Shooting stars, tarot cards

dreaming of dance floors—

I ought to hold your hand

I’ll spill my guts out everywhere

And meet you half past 12

In the ether where our love grows beyond nowhere

Incomprehensible, incomparable

The shift of the world felt within my core

Rattling my very own flesh and bones

Your gravity pulls me in

My one and only, my anchor

I believe in God when you touch my skin

ROBERT BRYDALL - The fairy woods (detail)

you know that feeling when you’re out in nature at 5 or 6am and everything’s still quiet and the air still smells like night time and it’s fresh so you shiver a bit but then slowly the first rays of sun peak over the edge of the earth and everything is bathed in foggy, golden light and you just stand there watching the earth awaken.. if that’s not soothing idk what is

François-Hubert Drouais 

French, 1727-1775

Madame du Barry (details)

when whitman said “i contradict myself. i am large… i contain multitudes” and wilde said “what are you? to define is to limit” and sumney said “i insist upon my right to be multiple”

I was perfect.

yes.

stop shaming people for being passionate about the things that they love. stop mocking people for having unusual interests. like, honestly, i'm so tired of feeling embarrassed for being "too much". if being too much means having deep interests that fill my life with romanticism and excitement, then let me be!!! i'd much rather listen to anyone ranting about their latest obsession with 16th century swords than have a boring ordinary conversation with those who shame passionate people
