Maybe love is in New York City, already asleep, and you are in California, Australia, wide awake. Maybe love is always in the wrong time zone, maybe love is not ready for you. Maybe you are not ready for love. Maybe love just isn’t the marrying type. Maybe the next time you see love is twenty years after the divorce, love is older now, but just as beautiful as you remembered. Maybe love is only there for a month. Maybe love is there for every firework, every birthday party, every hospital visit. Maybe love stays- maybe love can’t. Maybe love shouldn’t.
Sarah Kay and Phil Kaye, When Love Arrives (via wordsnquotes)
Some of my analog pictures I took in the park in June🌷
Ed van der Elsken : Pierre and Paulette (Kiss with Hand Around Cheek), 1951.
Smoke like souls
Crooked, gnarling ghosts that float right through you.
They are free when they are taken by the wind.
Dissipated, faded into empty air.
Until that’s all that’s left.
Empty space.
Empty?
It must still be full of ghosts.
They must be somewhere.
All the ghosts in this space alone,
How many in this house?
How many in the garden?
The forgotten patrons of this land,
An unimaginable multitude of memories.
Does anyone keep these memories still?
I want to believe that this place gave joy.
I have felt joy here.
I have seen such beauty in this land, but
It has also witnessed my pain.
It has watched my adolescence unfold.
Whoever owns this house next will never know.
Does it remain, in the ghosts
Of the smoke
That stains these walls?

Alice in Wonderland (1951)
“I fell asleep in the deep velvet of this wood; I dreamt divine things.”
— Delmira Agustini, from Morning Songs: Poems; “The Wings,” c. 1910
I think we would me much more alive if we dared ourselves to recognize that we are not obligated to know who we are at every given moment.
Jorge Bucay, Argentine gestalt psychotherapist, psychodramatist (1949–)
original: “Creo que estaremos mucho más vivos si nos atrevemos a darnos cuenta de que no estamos necesariamente obligados a saber en todo momento quienes somos.” (via fyp-psychology)
