When you die inside
When you sow seeds of bitterness
The light will sometimes come along
Allow it to shine on you
Allow yourself to be saved again
Then you will see the good fruit of all your fighting was actually not in vain

I live for the quiet moments of a Sunday morning. Reading by the soft glow of lamplight in black #velvet darkness. Sipping coffee with old ghosts whose creaky bones keep us awake on cold December nights.

Without vision
Contemplation fails
Without purpose
Work does not satisfy
Without direction
Hearts pine
Reach in deep
Beneath logic
Into the waters of your spirit
To find the well that satisfies

“A person is a fool to become a writer. His only compensation is absolute freedom. He has no master except his own soul, and that, I am sure, is why he does it.” #RoaldDahl#writing
Why does one begin to write? ... Because it never comes out clearly enough when she tries to speak. Because she wants to rephrase the world, to take it in and give it back again differently, so that everything is used and nothing is lost... #nicolekrauss#write
