“Being raised in an unstable household makes you understand that the world doesn’t exist to accommodate you, which… is something a lot of people struggle to understand well into their adulthood. It makes you realize how quickly a situation can shift, how danger really is everywhere. But crises when they occur, do not catch you off guard; you have never believed you lived under a shelter of some essential benevolence. And an unstable childhood makes you appreciate calmness and not crave excitement.”— Curtis Sittenfeld

Jennifer Willough, from “The Sun Is Still A Part Of Me”, Beautiful Zero: Poems
Be still and know this is the truth..
“yeah, tell me you love me spin me around
Pretty please pick me up in the air and don’t put me down
You seen it all unfold, sat back and watched
Knowing time don’t give a fuck about clocks until they stop
Bare feet, running late, her car is started
Even though the only thing that she driving, a hard bargain
More important is I’m kinda sorta out the door but
She put me back together when I’m out of order
Perfect”
“Creativity and ego cannot go together. If you free yourself from the comparing and jealous mind, your creativity opens up endlessly. Just as water springs from a fountain, creativity springs from every moment. You must not be your own obstacle. You must not be owned by the environment you are in. You must own the environment, the phenomenal world around you. You must be able to freely move in and out of your mind. This is being free. There is no way you can’t open up your creativity. There is no ego to speak of. That is my belief.”
—Zen Buddhist nun, Jeong Kwan, CHEF’S TABLE, S03E01

“Everybody has a secret world inside of them. All of the people of the world, I mean everybody. No matter how dull and boring they are on the outside, inside them they’ve all got unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds. Not just one world. Hundreds of them. Thousands maybe.”— Neil Gaiman
