Love Emily

“Emerging from an Abyss, and re-entering it—that is Life, is it not, Dear?”

- Emily Dickinson, from a letter to Susan Gilbert Dickinson, late 1885

Origins

“Who can guess the luna’s sadness who lives so briefly? Who can guess the impatience of stone longing to be ground down, to be part again of something livelier? Who can imagine in what heaviness the rivers remember the original clarity?”

- Mary Oliver, opening to “The Moth, The Mountains, The Rivers," from A ThousandMornings: Poems

Sea Everyone Anyone No one

“To live in an old shack by the sea 
(And breathe the sweet salt air) 
To live with the dawn and the dusk 
The new moon and the full moon 
The tides the wind and the rain… 
To surf and comb the beach 
And gather sea shells and drift-wood 
And know the thrill of loneliness 
And lose all sense of time 
And be free

To hike over the island to the village 
And visit the marketplace 
And enjoy the music and the food and the people 
And do a little trading 
And see the great ships come and go 
And, man, have me a ball

And in the evening 
(When the sky is on fire) 
Heaven and earth become my great open cathedral 
Where all men are brothers 
Where all things are bound by law 
And crowned with love 
Poor, alone and happy 
I walk by the surf and make a fire on the beach 
And as darkness covers the face of the deep 
Lie down in the wild grass 
And dream the dream that the dreamers dream

I am the wind, the sea, the evening star 
I am everyone, anyone, no one.”

- Eden Ahbez 

Inception

"If the dream is a translation of waking life, waking life is also a translation of the dream." - Rene Magritte 

Love Letter

Goodnight and great love to you. We see the same stars
